Possibility of using the results of non-destructive testing for assessing occupational risks in the labor protection management system

Abstract

Introduction. The paper discusses the methods for occupational risks assessment of workers within the framework of the labor protection management system. To date, there is no legally approved methodology for occupational risks assessment. Numerous well-known methods of ORS are advisory in nature. Their main weak point is the influence of the human factor and, consequently, the relative subjectivity of the final conclusions.

Problem Statement. The main objective of this work is to study the possibility of occupational risks assessment of workers by the "Bow tie" method in the occupational safety management system.

Theoretical Part. The method of risk assessment "Bow tie" was adopted as a basis. The main components of this method are considered. Approbation has been carried out. It is proposed to introduce an additional barrier into the "Bowtie" risk assessment method, which is called "Non-destructive control".

Conclusions. As a result, a technique for occupational risks assessment was proposed, taking into account the results of non-destructive testing. The positive aspects of the proposed approach are also identified.
