Risk estimation for industrial safety in raw materials manufacturing

By constructing a risk model for estimating the risks involved in industrial safety, and by investigating and analyzing the obtained results, areas that should be considered as priorities in risk reduction are clarified. In the present study, the risks involved in industrial safety are classified into five categories: fire and/or explosion, strong winds, flooding, lightning, and earthquake. An analysis was conducted using parameters obtained for each of these events. For the survey of the present study, the simulation results indicate that the reduction of the risks associated with fire and/or explosion and strong winds were taken as a priority, thereby enabling the effective reduction of risks for industrial safety in raw materials manufacturing in Japan.
