The paper focuses on practical aspects of implementing Directive (EU) 2020/2184 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16 December 2020 on the quality of water intended for human consumption (DWD) to Polish law. The significance of risk assessment and risk management in the supply system is discussed. The importance of water safety plans as a risk management tool and the principles of their formation are indicated. The role of designers and contractors of domestic distribution systems to ensure proper water quality and to meet DWD requirements is emphasized.
The authors analyse the standardisation of risk management as an effective tool for the safety of design solutions in residential construction. The analysed regulatory documentation answers the question of achieving an acceptable level of risk. Within the framework of improving environmental management, the use of specific penalties looks quite natural. However, the primary purpose of ISO 14001 is to form a responsible attitude toward the environment and natural resources as the most crucial assets of economic activity. The article raises the issue that domestic standards cannot thoroughly guide risk analysts due to their lack of development and inconsistency with ISO 31000:2018 and ISO 14001:2016. It is necessary to develop a unique approach to risk assessment, de facto describing the interaction of different scenarios, which will ensure an increase in the environmental and economic effects in the field of housing safety.
Zgodnie z prawem UE zakłady przetwórstwa spożywczego są zobligowane do wdrożenia i utrzymania procedur opartych na zasadach HACCP. Kluczowym elementem, sercem systemu, jest realizacja pierwszej zasady polegającej na analizie zagrożeń - zidentyfikowanie każdego istotnego zagrożenia i przypisanie mu środka jego kontroli, czyli metody działania, która zapobiegnie przekroczeniu jego akceptowalnego poziomu. Niemniej jednak, poprawne wdrożenie wszystkich siedmiu zasad jest kluczowe dla skutecznego działania systemu. Druga zasada systemu HACCP nosi nazwę Identyfikacja krytycznych punktów kontroli. Jest to nazwa bardzo ogólna, która nie odzwierciedla wszystkich działań wymaganych w ramach jej wdrażania. Niniejszy artykuł szczegółowo opisuje procedurę wdrażania drugiej zasady HACCP, koncentrując się na procedurze półilościowej oceny ryzyka.

Under EU law, food processing plant operators must implement and maintain procedures based on the HACCP principles. The key element, the heart of the system, is implementing the first principle hazard analysis (HA) – identifying each significant hazard and assigning it a control measure, i.e. a method of action that prevents it from exceeding an acceptable level. Nevertheless, correctly implementing all seven principles is crucial for the system to operate effectively. The second principle of the HACCP system is called the Identification of critical control points. This very general name does not reflect all the actions required in its implementation. This article details the procedure for implementing HACCP Principle 2, focusing on the semi-quantitative risk assessment procedure.
The safety risk management is crucial for aviation industry companies. Each of aviation organizations (i.e. airlines, aerodrome operators, General Aviation entities, etc.) has different specificity and deals with different factors. Numerous studies on safety risk management have been conducted, however authors of presented paper have seen a need to review one of the its’ numerous aspect - the risk assessment from the perspective of aerodrome operator. The variety of risk assessment tools and techniques gives many possibilities, but can also cause disarray if rules or selection criteria for their use have not been developed. The aim of the article is to present the risk assessment tools and techniques, that may be the most beneficial and useful for selected safety aspects of aerodrome functioning. For this purpose, existing risk assessment techniques and tools were collected and briefly reviewed, as well as their usefulness for the aerodrome operator was verified according to the proposed issues related to the safety of aerodrome operations. Analysis have shown that a manual summarizing and reviewing risk assessment tools and techniques could be useful for aerodrome operators.
The article discusses the preparation and implementation of a complete comprehensive safety assessment of a hazardous production facility, such as environmental risk management, the risks of designing and operating enterprises, taking into account the human factor, engineering psychology, the development of labour protection management systems and other risks. When assessing risks when implementing various processes, for example, the transport support of offshore fields, it makes sense to prepare a comprehensive safety assessment of the individual operational structures. In this case, bow tie analysis is used to examine risk by demonstrating a range of possible causes and effects. The method should be applied in a situation where it is difficult to perform a complete fault tree analysis or where the research is more focused on creating barriers or controls for each failure path. The methodology for this analysis is the same as preparing and implementing an HSE for whole enterprise. The possibility to apply the Pareto principle to estimate technogenic risk parameters of composite systems was studied. According to the Pareto principle there are a few important parameters among many unimportant ones. Hence, the main success is achieved not by the many actions, but the few. This is applicable to a wide range of research areas, including manufacturing, economical and physical ones. In a bow tie diagram, some calculations may be applied for example, in a situation where the paths are independent and the probability of certain outcomes is known. Such a quantitative assessment is necessary to ensure the effectiveness of control.

Artykuł omawia przygotowanie i realizację pełnej, kompleksowej oceny bezpieczeństwa potencjalnie niebezpiecznej instalacji produkcyjnej, obejmujące zarządzanie ryzykiem środowiskowym, ryzyko związane z projektowaniem i prowadzeniem przedsiębiorstw, uwzględniając czynnik ludzki, psychologię inżynierii, rozwój systemów zarządzania ochroną pracy oraz inne rodzaje ryzyka. Przy ocenie ryzyka jako części realizacji różnych procesów, na przykład wsparcia transportowego na złożach morskich, istotne jest przygotowanie wszechstronnej oceny bezpieczeństwa poszczególnych obiektów eksploatacyjnych. W tym przypadku stosowana jest analiza „bow tie”, aby zbadać ryzyko poprzez wykazanie zakresu możliwych przyczyn i skutków. Metodę tę należy stosować w sytuacji, gdy trudno jest wykonać kompletną analizę drzewa błędów lub gdy badania są bardziej skoncentrowane na tworzeniu barier lub czynników kontrolnych dla każdej ścieżki awarii. Metodologia tej analizy jest taka sama jak w przypadku przygotowania i wdrażania analizy HSE dla całego przedsiębiorstwa. Zbadano możliwość zastosowania zasady Pareta, aby oszacować parametry ryzyka technologicznego dla systemów złożonych. Zgodnie z zasadą Pareta istnieje kilka parametrów ważnych i wiele nieważnych. Tak więc główny sukces osiągany jest nie poprzez wiele działań, ale przez niewiele. Ma to zastosowanie w wielu obszarach badawczych, w tym w produkcji, ekonomii i fizyce. Na wykresie „bow tie” niektóre obliczenia można zastosować na przykład w sytuacji, gdy ścieżki są niezależne, a prawdopodobieństwo wystąpienia określonych wyników jest znane. Taka ocena ilościowa jest potrzebna, aby zapewnić skuteczność kontroli.
One of the basic stages of mining operations is development work. During them there can occur the events that affect the process of development work as well as the safety of workers. This article conducts a process risk assessment using the Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (FMEA) method to identify events that disrupt the development work process, along with the causes of the occurrence of these events. The study covered the process of development work i.e. the execution of the M-2 roadway in seam 502/1 realized at a depth of about 550 m with an assumed length of about 500 m. As a result of the study, those risks for which countermeasures should be applied were identified, and measures were proposed to minimize the risks involved. As part of the research, an FMEA evaluation form was created to assess process risks in the execution of similar work. The highest process risk was identified for the drivage of the excavation with a road header, and is related to the possibility of frequent failure of hydraulic systems. Similar process risk results were obtained for the risk associated with improper execution of mining with explosives and the need to perform additional blasting work in the excavated roadway. The results can contribute to reducing the time of coal face stoppage during development work, and thus improve the process of them and reduce the costs incurred during this process.
This article explores the development of a new business strategy in the Republic of Lithuania that focuses on the processing of waste tires into fuel. An innovative approach has been adopted, which incorporates three interdependent components: managerial, legal, and financial/economic factors. This approach ensures the integration of different levels and functions of management for the inclusive development of this business in the Republic of Lithuania. A set of indicators has been proposed, which were used to conduct a comparative analysis of alternative types of energy used for heating, such as diesel fuel, pyrolysis, wood pellets, electricity, and natural gas. A mathematical model has been constructed to formalize the financial and economic results of the tire recycling business, and it can be used to determine the results with any number of recycled tires. The investment analysis of the tire recycling business in the Republic of Lithuania confirms the economic feasibility of the proposed strategy. The risk assessment of the proposed strategy was also conducted, taking into account the technical and possible initial volumes of processing. Based on these economic and mathematical tools, managerial decisions can be made regarding the strategic alternatives for implementation. Additionally, the implementation of this strategy can lead to multiple positive environmental and social outcomes such as reduction of waste tires in landfills and decrease in dependence on fossil fuels. The results of this research provide a valuable basis for decision-makers in the government and private sector to consider the implementation of this innovative strategy and contribute to the sustainable development of the country.

Spices and medicinal herbs is an important route for human exposure to toxic metals. This study determined total concentrations of heavy metals and risk assessment of ten types of herbs used in cooking, spices and medicinal plants available in local markets of Babylon province/Iraq. Concentrations of Cu, Ni, Zn, Pb, Co, As, Cd, Cr and Hg were estimated by ICP/Mass to identify toxic metals in the used portion of selected spices and medicinal plants. The average concentrations of these elements were within the limits allowed by the WHO. Culinary herbs and spices contained significantly Cu˃Ni˃Zn˃Pb˃Co˃As˃Cd˃Cr˃Hg. However, the concentrations of copper, zinc and nickel, respectively, were higher in all herbal samples. The study recorded the highest concentrations in the aerial parts of plants from the total elemental content of Thymus vulgaris leaves (109.4 μg•g-1). and barks of Cinnamomum verum was recorded (43 μg•g-1). Non-carcinogenic risks and estimated daily consumption of these herbs were assessed on the basis of the target hazard quotient (THQ) and Hazard Index (HI). THQ values for individual minerals were more than one indicating health risks for nickel (15.5) Mentha verticillata leaves, (12.3) for Matricaria chamomilla, other metals Cu, Co, Pb and Zn were recorded THQ˃1 which considered unsafe for human consumption. The mean Hazard Index (HI) for the nine metal elements is ˃1 for all plants except Zingiber officinale, indicating that there are non-carcinogenic risks from these nine elements. this study provides a scientific basis to guide the safe consumption of certain culinary herbs and spices, it suggest potential health concerns for consumers of these products on a daily basis over a prolonged life span.

The rapid development of the global economy has led to an increasing demand for resources. The disparity between the supply and demand of resources continues to be prominent and shows a situation of short supply. Resource investment projects with large amounts and long construction periods face many risks due to various unpredictable factors. Cultural, legal, economic and other environments vary between different countries. Therefore, comprehensive risk identification, understanding, evaluation, and analysis are important prerequisites for the success of mineral investment. In this paper, the risk of mineral resources investment in host countries is identified. A risk evaluation index system is established to objectively evaluate the risk environment of the host country. The risk evaluation index system includes four first-level indexes: political and legal risk, social and cultural risk, economic and financial risk, and natural risk. The subjective weight was determined by sending questionnaires to experts and scholars in the industry and conducting data processing. The entropy method was used to determine the objective weight. Finally, the subjective weight and the objective weight were combined to obtain a group of scientific and accurate combined weights. The matter-element theory was introduced into the cloud model and a risk assessment model based on the cloud matter-element theory was constructed with comprehensive consideration of the fuzziness and randomness of risks. Eight countries with relatively rich mineral resources were taken as cases to verify the model application. The research results provide a theoretical basis and decision-making methods for mineral enterprise investment.

Szybki rozwój gospodarki światowej doprowadził do rosnącego zapotrzebowania na surowce. Rozbieżność między podażą a popytem na zasoby jest w dalszym ciągu wyraźna i świadczy o niedoborze podaży. Projekty inwestycyjne dotyczące zasobów, obejmujące duże kwoty i długie okresy budowy, są narażone na wiele zagrożeń ze względu na różne nieprzewidywalne czynniki. Środowiska kulturowe, prawne, gospodarcze i inne różnią się w poszczególnych krajach. Dlatego kompleksowa identyfikacja, zrozumienie, ocena i analiza ryzyka są ważnymi warunkami wstępnymi powodzenia inwestycji w surowce mineralne. W artykule zidentyfikowano ryzyko inwestycji w surowce mineralne w krajach przyjmujących. Ustanawia się system wskaźników oceny ryzyka w celu obiektywnej oceny środowiska ryzyka w kraju przyjmującym. System wskaźników oceny ryzyka obejmuje cztery wskaźniki pierwszego stopnia: ryzyko polityczne i prawne, ryzyko społeczne i kulturowe, ryzyko ekonomiczne i finansowe oraz ryzyko naturalne. Subiektywna waga została określona poprzez wysyłanie kwestionariuszy do ekspertów i naukowców z branży oraz przeprowadzenie przetwarzania danych. Do wyznaczenia wagi obiektywnej wykorzystano metodę entropii. Na koniec połączono wagę subiektywną i wagę obiektywną, aby uzyskać grupę naukowych i dokładnych połączonych wag. Teoria elementów materii została wprowadzona do modelu chmury, a model oceny ryzyka oparty na teorii elementów materii chmury został skonstruowany z kompleksowym uwzględnieniem rozmytości i losowości ryzyka. Do weryfikacji zastosowania modelu wzięto osiem krajów o stosunkowo bogatych zasobach mineralnych. Wyniki badań zapewniają podstawy teoretyczne i metody podejmowania decyzji w zakresie inwestycji przedsiębiorstw z branży wydobywczej.
Ecological and geochemical indicators have been widely accepted as tools with the potential for rapid risk assessment of metal contamination of bottom sediments. In this study we propose a selection of such indicators to characterize the potential ecological risks stemming from metal contamination of the bottom sediments of the Chechło reservoir (S Poland). The Chechło reservoir is located in an area formerly occupied by zinc and lead ore mining and processing industry. High amounts of metals, especially zinc (39.37–4772.00 mg/kg d.m.), cadmium (0.37–21.13 mg/kg d.m.) and lead (4.50–434.49 mg/kg d.m.) have been found in the bottom sediments. Both geochemical (CD – contamination degree) and ecological indices (mean PECQ) were indicative of bottom sediment contamination and their potential toxicity to living organisms. Most of the bottom sediment samples (71%) examined were toxic for Heterocypris incongruens, while only 9% of the samples were toxic to Sinapis alba. However, no significant correlations between the metal content and the response of the test organisms were observed. Correlation and principal component analyses (PCA) showed that silt and clay fractions were the key factors influencing the metal content in the sediments. Our study makes a contribution to building evidence of the need to integrate several indices for the assessment of environmental risks related to the presence of metals in bottom sediments rather than relying on a single one.
The accurate assessment of aircraft structure damage risk is the premise of establishing reasonable, economic and reliable maintenance intervals. While many studies have proposed damage risk assessment methods for aircraft structures, these methods lack the quantification of risk. This paper proposed a risk assessment method of aircraft structure damage maintenance interval considering fatigue crack growth rate and crack detection rate. The damage process of aircraft structure was simulated by Monte Carlo simulation to realize the quantitative assessment of aircraft structure damage risk and maintenance interval. Taking an aircraft fleet as an example, the damage risk of its wing structure was simulated and analyzed. The results show that if the risk is controlled within a reasonable range, the maintenance interval should be shortened to 16 flight hours. At the same time, through the analysis of the risk classification standard and the crack detection rate, the quantitative evaluation of the risk classification standard was realized.
Industrial reception spaces (IRSs) are receptacles for a large part of the national socioeconomic activity in Morocco. They contribute substantially to sustaining economic growth and national dynamics of industrialization. These areas are increasingly faced with several constraints, notably deficient infrastructure, competitiveness, and compliance with the new environmental legislation. These constraints stem from the proven and potential impacts of CC on both individual industrial units and the IRS as a common space. There is an urgent need to make these spaces environment-friendly and more resilient to current and future climate risks through appropriate methodological approaches, leading to effective climate risk management and implementation of proactive CC adaptation strategies. This was the context in which this study was conducted. As a case study, the industrial area (IA) of Aït Melloul, located near the city of Agadir in Morocco, was based on a participatory approach of climate risk assessment involving a task force representing the main socio-economic and state operators concerned by this IA. This was accomplished by analyzing the risks and vulnerabilities of the IRS and the agri-food units within it. The analysis provides key elements for a future strategy for business sector resilience and energy transition. The new project to requalify Ait Melloul IA would provide an opportunity to incorporate these elements as well as to capitalize on lessons learned from programs at the local level, particularly about energy efficiency and building the adaptive capacity of businesses.
Health risk assessment and heavy metals analysis was carried out for 8 lakes water samples and 8 open well water samples in Gudiyattam region. Metal Index(MI), Adult Infusion(AI), and Hazardous Quotient(HQ) were determined to know the health risk in all locations using ingestion and dermal pathway. MI values are greater than 1 in all lakes as well as in well water for the location S1 to S3 and in S6 which indicates this water is unfit for drinking purposes. Based on HQingestion and HQdermal value, the location S1 to S4 are more polluted for the lake water. Among all the well locations S4 is the most polluted. Considering the Hazard Index (HI) of these metals was found to be greater than 1. Carcinogenic Index(CI) exceeded the acceptable limit of 1.0x 10(-06 to-04) in 5 locations for lake water and 1 location for well water. Especially the location S4 in lake water as well as in well water have direct proportionality in pollution load. The water sample previously said location can pose a serious risk to living beings.
Theft and devastation of railway infrastructure are one of the most important factors that affect the safety of the railway transport system. In Poland, the railway transported 245.1 million passengers and 243.6 million tons of cargo in 2021, so it is extremely important to ensure the maximum possible safety standards. Theft and devastation of railway infrastructure contribute to significant material damage to railway network managers. The costs of rebuilding railway equipment are estimated at millions of zlotys every year. They also influence the proper functioning of railway traffic. Due to this phenomenon, there are delays of passenger and freight trains, the total of which amounted to over 100,000 minutes in 2021. Therefore, the effects of such hooligan acts also affect passengers and commercial customers of the railways. The article is an attempt to describe the impact of theft and devastation of railway infrastructure on its safety and the operation of railway lines in Poland. By analyzing the available statistical data and using the CSM method, as well as applying certain simplifications, it was possible to determine the approximate level of risk using techniques used in practice. Based on the adopted risk reference levels, a systematic reduction in both the probability of occurrence of negative phenomena and their consequences was observed.

Hałas w środowisku pracy wciąż jest jednym z dominujących czynników szkodliwych lub uciążliwych oddziałujących na człowieka. Niezależnie od metod eliminacji hałasu istotną kwestią jest możliwość szybkiej oceny narażenia na hałas w miejscu pracy zgodnie z obowiązującymi przepisami. Czasochłonność tego procesu zależy m.in. od sposobu realizacji czynności prowadzonych w ciągu dnia pracy oraz zastosowanej strategii pomiarowej. Niekiedy przeprowadzenie oceny narażenia wymaga wykonania nie tylko pomiarów, lecz także dodatkowych złożonych obliczeń. Coraz większą rolę w tym zakresie odgrywa Internet, w którego zasobach pojawiają się programy wspomagające wymienione operacje. Przykładem takiego programu jest przedstawiony w artykule skrypt wspomagający ocenę narażenia na hałas na stanowisku pracy przy zastosowaniu strategii pomiarowej z podziałem na czynności, które pracownik wykonuje w ramach swojej pracy. Program wyznacza wartości redukcji poziomów hałasu i czasu narażenia w odniesieniu do każdej czynności prowadzącej do osiągnięcia wartości dziennego poziomu ekspozycji na hałas zgodnego z obowiązującymi przepisami.

Despite the progress in noise reduction in work environment, noise is still a dominant harmful or bothersome factor affecting humans. Regardless of the noise control methods, it is important to quickly assess occupational exposure to noise in accordance with applicable regulations. The time needed to complete this process depends, among other factors, on the complexity of activities carried out during the working day and on the measurement strategy in place. Noise exposure assessment often requires not only measurements, but also additional, complex calculations. The Internet plays an increasingly important role in this respect, with programs supporting the above-mentioned operations appearing on its resources. An example of such a program is the script presented in the article supporting the assessment of noise exposure at the workplace with the use of a measurement strategy divided into activities performed by employees as part of their work. The program determines the reduction values for noise levels and exposure time for each activity leading to the daily noise exposure level in accordance with applicable regulations.
