Industrial Risks

In the absence of uniform and unified requirements for the assessment of industrial risks at an enterprise, the system approach remains the only tool for a comprehensive assessment of the workplace safety. Implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) system involves identifying, analyzing and reducing risks at the workplace. The purpose of the article is to calculate the minimum expenses for occupational safety measures and minimize production risks identified through the developed procedure for analyzing the hazards of the machine-building enterprise. The research methodology is based on the integrated use of qualitative and quantitative approaches to risk assessment, namely, structured assessment and integral assessment using the “rucksack problem” optimization model. The study identifies the risks that are most common and the most serious ones. The procedure of risk reduction is proposed, which is to determine the minimum costs for achieving each of the integral assessments for the machine-building enterprise. The practical value of work consists in the ability to directly apply the developed methodology for risk assessment at the enterprises of the machine-building industry, and to easily adapt the risk assessment procedure to other conditions.

Industrial Risk

This paper analyzed financial mechanism in handling industrial risks in the light of dissipative system theory that internal and external fluctuations could influence system stability. Internal fluctuations from system factors and external fluctuations from environment could lead a system to diverge its path, and in industrial system an upward path is viewed as opportunity and a downward path as risk. This paper classified risk preventing finance into three types: (1) risks from fluctuations inside industries, including node fluctuations and link fluctuations; (2) risks from fluctuations from adjacent environment; (3) risks from macro-environment fluctuation. This paper demonstrates effects of industrial risk management finance by Lotka-Volterra stochastic differential dynamics equation modeling and numerical simulation method.

Industrial Risks

This study examined the influence of risk perception on stress reactions and coping strategies in 191 Mexican people who had experienced a catastrophe either natural (SR group) or industrial (IR group), and who are still exposed to the same kind of risks. Results showed that for the IR group and for people who rank industrial risks as the highest priority, from among a list of risks, the stress levels were higher and coping strategies were passive. There were significant correlations between feelings of insecurity and both stress level and passive coping strategies. The results demonstrate that risk perception is an important variable influencing both stress and coping responses in a catastrophe risk situation.
