Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to conduct a detailed analysis of occupational risk using the methods of Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) and the Five-Step Method. The paper aims to estimate the level of risk associated with specific operations performed by automotive sheet metal workers in a selected research facility. Design/methodology/approach: The objectives are achieved by employing two main methods for assessing occupational risk: the Preliminary Hazard Analysis (PHA) and the Five-Step Method. The approach involves applying these methods to evaluate the potential risks associated with the tasks performed by automotive sheet metal workers. The theoretical scope of the paper covers the field of occupational risk assessment and the practical application of risk assessment techniques in a specific work environment. Findings: In the course of the study, it was determined that the calculated risk values for the selected operations were within acceptable limits. The analysis revealed that both the PHA and the Five-Step Method were effective in identifying and assessing potential risks, providing insights into the level of risk associated with the tasks performed by automotive sheet metal workers. Research limitations/implications: The research process was limited to a specific research facility and focused on a subset of operations performed by automotive sheet metal workers. Future research could expand the scope to other work environments and investigate a broader range of tasks to enhance the generalizability of the findings. Additionally, further investigation could explore the effectiveness of risk mitigation measures and their impact on reducing potential hazards. Practical implications: The research outcomes have implications for enhancing occupational safety in the automotive repair industry. The findings suggest that the selected operations pose an acceptable level of risk, validating the effectiveness of current safety measures. Practitioners and managers can utilize these findings to make informed decisions regarding task assignments, employee training, and the allocation of safety resources. Social implications: The research contributes to the broader social goal of promoting worker safety in the automotive repair sector. By providing evidence-based insights into the level of risk associated with specific tasks, this research may influence industry practices and policies related to employee safety and well-being.Originality/value: This paper introduces a comprehensive analysis of occupational risk using the PHA and Five-Step Method, specifically applied to automotive sheet metal workers. The value of the paper lies in its practical application of established risk assessment methods to a specific work context, addressing the occupational safety concerns of a critical industry sector.
