“…According to the findings of previous researchers (Aaltonen, 1996;Chi et al, 2004;Conte et al, 2011;Hale et al, 2007;Jacinto & Silva, 2010;Palamara et al, 2011;Rajala & Vyrynen, 2010), meaningful concepts underlie the structure of accident reports (see Table 1). In particular, two main concepts are directly linked with the risk assessments performed by safety practitioners: task and accident mechanisms (see Figure 1).…”

“…The accident notification system in Spain has complied with ESAW-III since 2003, according to Order TAS/2926/2002, which was approved by the Spanish government. In recent years, most scientific research on occupational safety in Europe has used data according to ESAW-III (Carrillo & Onieva, 2011;Conte et al, 2011;Jacinto & Silva, 2010;Jacinto & Soares, 2008;Hale et al, 2007;Palamara et al, 2011;Rajala & Vyrynen, 2010;Silva & Jacinto, 2012), showing that ESAW-III codification of the main circumstances of accidents is useful for research purposes, as it can identify the main variables of the task and accident mechanisms.…”

“…For instance, accident circumstances have been analysed by using contingency tables (Aaltonen, 1996;Chi, Chang, & Hung, 2004), exploratory techniques (Chi & Chen, 2003), regression trees (Bevilacqua, Ciarapica, & Giacchetta, 2008), cluster analysis (Palamara, Piglione, & Piccinini, 2011), correspondence analysis (Conte, Rubio, Garc ıa, & Cano, 2011) and data-mining techniques (Silva & Jacinto, 2012).…”

Maintenance operations cover a great number of occupations. Most small and medium-sized enterprises lack the appropriate information to conduct risk assessments of maintenance operations. The objective of this research is to provide a method based on the concepts of task and accident mechanisms for an initial risk assessment by taking into consideration the prevalence and severity of the maintenance accidents reported. Data were gathered from 11,190 reported accidents in maintenance operations in the manufacturing sector of Andalusia from 2003 to 2012. By using a semi-quantitative methodology, likelihood and severity were evaluated based on the actual distribution of accident mechanisms in each of the tasks. Accident mechanisms and tasks were identified by using those variables included in the European Statistics of Accidents at Work methodology. As main results, the estimated risk of the most frequent accident mechanisms identified for each of the analysed tasks is low and the only accident mechanisms with medium risk are accidents when lifting or pushing with physical stress on the musculoskeletal system in tasks involving carrying, and impacts against objects after slipping or stumbling for tasks involving movements. The prioritisation of public preventive actions for the accident mechanisms with a higher estimated risk is highly recommended.

“…Risk assessment enables the identification of risk factors, their assessment and prioritization (Conte, Rubio, García & Cano, 2011), from which mechanisms to control risks are established. The purpose of risk assessment is to determine if the level of risk from work activities is acceptable or otherwise, measures must be taken to control and reduce risk (Gadd, Keeley & Balmforth, 2004).…”

This paper studies the possibility of using the following occupational risk assessment methods for construction works: INSHT, ANACT, THREP, SHERPA, RNUR, EVENT TREE, LEST, FINE, ERGONOMIC ANALYSIS and PSYCHOSOCIAL FACTORS. Of these methods, INSHT, ANACT, RNUR and FINE have been selected with the objective of applying them to real building works, in order to determine the discrepancies in the results obtained compared to the risks analyzed. The results make it possible to ascertain the types of risk which each method most reliably detects, there being methods which are not able to detect extreme or very low risks. It is concluded that if a single risk assessment method is used, the results do not entirely reflect reality, as such it is necessary to establish a new risk assessment methodology for construction works.Key words: Prevention, safety at work, methodology, risk assessment, construction. ResumenEn este trabajo se ha estudiado la posibilidad de emplear para obras de construcción los siguientes métodos de evaluación de riesgos laborales: INSHT, ANACT, THREP, SHERPA, RNUR, ÁRBOL DE SUCESOS, LEST, FINE, ANÁLISIS ERGONÓMICO Y FACTORES PSICOSOCIALES. De estos métodos se han seleccionado: INSHT, ANACT, RNUR y FINE con el objetivo de aplicarlos en obras reales para comprobar las discrepancias en los resultados obtenidos frente a los mismos riesgos analizados. Los resultados permiten comprobar los tipos de riesgo que cada método detecta con más fiabilidad, existiendo métodos que no son capaces de detectar riesgos extremos o muy bajos. Se concluye que si se emplea un único método de evaluación de riesgos los resultados no reflejan en su totalidad la realidad, por lo que es necesario establecer una nueva metodología de evaluación de riesgos en obras de construcción.Palabras clave: Prevención, seguridad en el trabajo, metodología, evaluación de riesgos, construcción.

“…The way people perceive and react to risk is not uniform, thus the hierarchy of various risks is not the same for all people. The ability to perceive risk has been suggested as being an important factor in determining safety risk [5].…”

This study highlights the increased likelihood of occupational accidents among military personnel with lower rank and lower level of education, less working experience (fewer years of service) and less military training (conscripted and professional soldiers). The existence of occupational accidents in the workplace, civilian or military, creates the need for the adoption of policies for the protection of workers and the organization of occupational preventive services.
