QFD를 활용한 위험성평가 방법의 재분류 및 특성 평가에 관한 연구

Abstract

Objective: The purpose of this study is to examine risk assessment techniques for preventing and reducing industrial accidents. A reclassification approach to the current assessment methodology is often conducted by using quality function deployment (QFD).BRBRBackground: In much literature, applications of risk assessment may provide significant contributions to reducing occupational accidents. Diverse risk assessment methods can detect various risk factors due to the characteristics of a workplace. It can be difficult to find a proper risk assessment method fitting to a particular industry.BRBRMethod: In order to perform a comprehensive literature review, existing risk assessment methods and applications were broadly searched and inspected. All risk assessment methods checked in the study are classified by three aspects, such as worker-based, process-based, and worker and process-based methods.BRBRResults: A quality function deployment (QFD) method is utilized to consider both risk assessment methods and their associated important categories (i.e., manageability, effectiveness, versatility, convenience, and work operability) simultaneously for risk reductions.BRBRConclusion: This study classified many existing risk assessment methods based on the level of difficulty and properly applicable industry types. Occupational safety personnel could select and apply a well-fitting risk assessment tool to their industry environment referring to the study.BRBRApplication: This literature review results in providing a useful guide for companies, safety managers, and industrial workers in order to evaluate potential risks and prevent occupational accidents.
