Summary
This study introduces RSCAL, an online tool for workplace risk assessment in Turkey. It helps Occupational Health and Safety Professionals calculate risk scores objectively, improving employee safety.
Area of Science:
- Occupational Health and Safety
- Risk Management
- Industrial Engineering
Background:
- Workplace safety is crucial, but current risk assessment methods have limitations due to human subjectivity.
- Occupational accidents pose significant risks to employees, necessitating improved assessment techniques.
Purpose of the Study:
- To develop an objective risk assessment method using occupational accident data from Turkey.
- To create a user-friendly online software tool (RSCAL) for calculating workplace risk scores.
Main Methods:
- Developed a novel risk assessment methodology based on Turkish occupational accident data.
- Created RSCAL, a web-based application (https://rscal.com.tr/) for calculating risk scores.
- The tool allows users to input identified hazards, risks, and exposures to generate scores.
Main Results:
- RSCAL enables risk score calculation without subjective numerical assignments for hazards.
- The software is applicable across all industrial sectors in Turkey.
- Generated risk assessments can be exported in Excel format for further analysis.
Conclusions:
- The RSCAL tool offers a more objective and efficient approach to workplace risk assessment.
- It empowers Occupational Health and Safety Professionals to enhance employee safety through data-driven insights.
- Future enhancements include adding parameters for corrective action deadlines and legal compliance.

01:12Relative Risk
2.5K
Relative risk (RR) is a statistical measure commonly used in epidemiology to compare the likelihood of a particular event occurring between two groups. This metric is important for evaluating the relationship between exposure to a specific risk factor and the probability of a particular outcome. It plays a crucial role in medical research, public health studies, and risk assessment. Relative risk quantifies how much more (or less) likely an event is to occur in an exposed group compared to an...

01:11Hazard Rate
525
The hazard rate, also known as the hazard function or failure rate, is a statistical measure used to describe the instantaneous rate at which an event occurs, given that the event has not yet happened. From a probabilistic perspective, it represents the likelihood that a subject will experience the event in a very small time interval, conditional on surviving up to the beginning of that interval. In terms of frequency, the hazard rate can be viewed as the ratio of the number of events to the...
