“…From the primitive perception of risk came its understanding from its understanding comes its management. Workplace risks and hazards are, most of all, related to health and safety [5]. The Health and Safety Risk Management Process uses several methodologies and a huge number of applicable tools.…”

“…These examples demonstrate how one can apply the Hazard Matrix to prioritize the risk management strategies and how investments in safety and health at work will be ranked in order to maximize the return of investment and [5], [10] the Hazard Matrix had been constructed as TABLES VI and VII shows. Risk evaluation is based in qualitative methods, ambient conditions analysis (of all the sectors of the industry), the existing Risk Mapping [11] and interviews with the workers.…”

This paper presents a risk evaluation and estimation methodology used for health, safety and environmental management prioritization strategies. Two case studies are presented and discussed throughout the usage of the Hazard Matrix. The Hazard Matrix is a risk management tool that promotes an organization's global health and safety at work evaluation. Workers, plant sectors and the work flow are interrelated and the exposure to hazards and environmental agents are evaluated and estimated. Analysis and discussion of the application contribute to the risk management process and determine loss prevention investments. Two cases allow an enhanced comprehension of the model. Discussion on the model adequacy and comprehensiveness of a qualitative / quantitative approach to prioritize risk management investment are also addressed.

In order to contribute to the risk knowledge that people and the environment can suffer from accidents related to process safety this paper presents a case study of Quantitative Risk Analysis applied to the Gases Industry. Industry activities such as production, storage or handling related to dangerous materials are complex and highly prone to severe or catastrophic accidents. All these happen not only because of major accidents occurrence, society pressure, law compliance and because of the growing care about the environmental sustainability by companies and their stakeholders. We address the importance of managing risk and present usual methods of qualitative and quantitative risk analysis studies. Such combination make possible analyze the feasibility of an industrial venture. Developing a case study for the process of cooling with ammonia in GÁSMIL, performing a risk analysis, through vulnerability analysis and knowledge of these subjects, one can map affected areas by the accidental scenarios.
