Traditional risk assessment methodologies have been thought for large enterprises and they are not easy to handle by small and medium enterprises (SMEs): that can hardly assign resources to safety analysis. However, occupational health and safety is even more important in SMEs since their core competencies are based on skilled manpower. Attempting to solve this problem, a new methodological approach was developed: RATE (Risk Analysis by Threshold Evaluation) is a “bottom up” method which allows safety analysts to follow a standard path, not much time-spending due to a semi-probabilistic approach and enabling identification of hidden risks. RATE perspective is centred on recognising risks for workers rather than machine ways of failure. It is aimed to help entrepreneurs to assess the capacity of their system to reach a desired safety level and to what extent safety measures can improve safety performance.
