“…The risk assessment techniques are a key structuring element between the functional and regulatory transition spaces, as shown in the results of Table 4 and, especially, of Table 5 . However, according to Brocal et al [ 9 ] it is necessary to deepen through future research on the analysis of differentiating and applicative criteria between the techniques used in the field of safety occupational and safety linked to major accidents.…”

“…Hence, these risk management frameworks are closely related [ 9 ] and, as a result, are open to being studied from an integrative point of view. However, despite the importance of this relationship, scientific literature addresses the study of risk management of occupational accidents and major accidents involving dangerous materials in an independent and practically excluding manner.…”

Risk Management of Hazardous Materials in Manufacturing Processes: Links and Transitional Spaces between Occupational Accidents and Major Accidents

et al. 2018

Manufacturing processes involving chemical agents are evolving at great speed. In this context, managing chemical risk is especially important towards preventing both occupational accidents and major accidents. Directive 89/391/EEC and Directive 2012/18/EU, respectively, are enforced in the European Union (EU) to this end. These directives may be further complemented by the recent ISO 45001:2018 standard regarding occupational health and safety management systems. These three management systems are closely related. However, scientific literature tackles the researching of these accidents independently. Thus, the main objective of this work is to identify and analyse the links and transitional spaces between the risk management of both types of accident. Among the results obtained, three transitional spaces can be pointed out which result from the intersection of the three systems mentioned. Similarly, the intersection of these spaces gives shape to a specific transitional space defined by the individual directives linked to Directive 89/391/EEC. These results are limited from a regulatory and technical perspective. Thus, the results are a starting point towards developing models that integrate the management systems studied.

“…These authors have considered SMS on 4 different focuses: Mayor Accidents, OH&S, Environment, and Quality. Brocal et al (2018a) note that occupational safety and major accidents are two branches of the safety are interconnected. This interconnected has been studied by Brocal et al (2018b), considering for this the links and transition spaces configured by three SMS: Directive 89/391/EEC (Framework Directive on OH&S), Directive 2012/18/EU (Seveso III on major accidents) and ISO 45001 standard.…”

As a result of the important and rapid technological advances in industrial processes, in recent years the scientific interest in the field of occupational health and safety (OH&S) is increasing. This scenario of continuous change generates both new opportunities and new challenges in the workplace. This circumstance allows eliminating or minimizing familiar or traditional risks, but it can also generate other risks called emerging risks. Recently the ISO 45001:2018 standard has been published, which specifies the requirements for an OH&S management system. ISO 45001 standard includes some aspects related to the new hazards, for example during the hazard identification process and the change management process. However, the standard does not explicitly distinguish between the concepts of emerging risk and traditional risk. In this way, the general objective of this paper is to identify the main differences between emerging risk management and traditional risk management in the context of the management system defined by ISO 45001. This standard has been analyzed together with other management systems and relevant scientific literature to achieve the stated objective. All this has been aligned with the results previously published by the authors of this work, within the framework of a research project on emerging risks. As the main conclusion of this work, the monitoring and assessment process of the emerging risk uncertainty should be integrated into the iterative process Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) used by organizations to achieve continual improvement.
