Immediately after the workplace is established and operational, If the workplace was previously established but no risk assessment has ever been conducted. b. In case of changes: Changes in the workplace related to job, location, equipment, or technology, The emergence of a new and serious hazard, Identification of a new situation during reviews of existing practices. c. In case of incidents such as: A workplace accident, occupational disease, or any event that could affect a significant part of or the entire workplace. d. At regular intervals: Depending on the nature of the hazards from the workplace and its surroundings and the degree of change in activities or jobs. Risk and Hazard Assessment Process in Our Workplace: Risk analysis activities will be continuously monitored by the relevant department officials, and improvement efforts will be made by reducing risk scores through the implementation of control measures. Identified risks will be continuously monitored until they are reduced to an acceptable level. Risks already reduced to acceptable levels should also be monitored to ensure the sustainability of the implemented preventive measures. Risk Assessment Methodologies We Use: Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) Job Safety Analysis (JSA) Primary Risk Analysis Using Checklists Risk Assessment Decision Matrix Methodology Hazard and Operability Study Methodology (HAZOP) Safety Audit Fault Tree Analysis (FTA) Failure Mode and Effects Analysis / Criticality Analysis (FMEA/FMECA) Event Tree Analysis (ETA) Cause and Effect Analysis
