[Risk assessment as a tool for planning reconstruction or construction of hospitals]

The risk assessment procedure enables the Hospital General Manager to set up and plan the measures and programs for the health protection of workers, patients and visitors. This crucial procedure on the preventive scenario could also provide useful informations about strategic choices to which the general manager is often recalled such those about old building restructuration or a new building construction. Specific models for transferring and elaborating data to this new field for applicating the results of risk assessment appear therefore to be necessary and the authors suggest a discussion about these theoretical models.
