The issue of occupational health and safety (OHS) is currently a pressing and essential challenge for improving production processes and workplace environments, particularly in manufacturing enterprises. With increasing demands for efficiency and workplace safety, it is crucial to implement innovative approaches that enhance accident prevention and safeguard employees' health. These approaches contribute to the long-term sustainability of enterprises and reduce costs associated with workplace injuries and occupational diseases. The core focus of this article is to present the ALrisk model for OHS risk assessment and management, outlining its key components, as well as the results and benefits of its verification in specific job positions within manufacturing enterprises in Slovakia. The study employed scientific methods, along with risk identification, analysis, and workplace condition assessment methods, in the development and verification of the ALrisk model. These methods contributed to a more precise identification of factors endangering employees' safety and health and enabled the formulation of solutions for their mitigation. The application results indicate that the proposed model provides a more effective method for assessing occupational risks, thereby enhancing prevention-reducing health hazards for employees and improving overall workplace safety. The article offers practical insights into the application of the ALrisk model as an innovative and systematic approach within the specific conditions of manufacturing enterprises. The findings of the study serve as a valuable resource for OHS managers and senior employees seeking to improve workplace safety and accident prevention within their production processes. Moreover, the results are beneficial for other professionals engaged in OHS, particularly in the assessment and management of occupational risks, not only in Slovakia but also across European countries.
职业健康与安全(OHS)问题目前是改善生产流程和工作场所环境面临的紧迫且至关重要的挑战,尤其是在制造企业中。随着对效率和工作场所安全的要求不断提高,实施能够加强事故预防并保障员工健康的创新方法至关重要。这些方法有助于企业的长期可持续发展,并降低与工作场所伤害和职业病相关的成本。本文的核心重点是介绍用于职业健康与安全风险评估和管理的ALrisk模型,概述其关键组成部分,以及在斯洛伐克制造企业特定工作岗位上对其进行验证的结果和益处。该研究在开发和验证ALrisk模型时采用了科学方法以及风险识别、分析和工作场所状况评估方法。这些方法有助于更精确地识别危及员工安全和健康的因素,并能够制定减轻这些因素影响的解决方案。应用结果表明,所提出的模型为评估职业风险提供了一种更有效的方法,从而增强了预防能力,减少了员工的健康危害,提高了整体工作场所安全性。本文提供了关于在制造企业特定条件下将ALrisk模型作为一种创新且系统的方法进行应用的实际见解。该研究结果为职业健康与安全管理人员以及寻求在其生产流程中改善工作场所安全和事故预防的高级员工提供了宝贵资源。此外,这些结果不仅对斯洛伐克,而且对欧洲其他国家从事职业健康与安全工作的其他专业人员,特别是在职业风险评估和管理方面,都具有益处。
