kockázatértékelk

Kockázatértékelés is the Hungarian term for risk assessment. It is a systematic process used to identify potential hazards, analyze the likelihood and severity of harm that could result from those hazards, and determine appropriate control measures to mitigate or eliminate the risks. This process is fundamental in many fields, including workplace safety, environmental protection, project management, and financial analysis.

The core components of a kockázatértékelés typically involve hazard identification, risk analysis, and risk evaluation. Hazard identification focuses on recognizing what could cause harm, such as faulty machinery, exposure to toxic substances, or financial market volatility. Risk analysis then assesses the probability of these hazards occurring and the potential consequences, often using qualitative or quantitative methods. Risk evaluation compares the analyzed risks against predefined criteria to decide whether the risk is acceptable or requires further action.

Based on the evaluation, control measures are devised and implemented. These can range from eliminating the hazard entirely, substituting it with something less dangerous, implementing engineering controls, establishing administrative procedures, or providing personal protective equipment. The effectiveness of these controls should be monitored, and the kockázatértékelés process is often iterative, meaning it may need to be revisited and updated as circumstances change or new information becomes available. The goal of kockázatértékelés is to proactively manage potential negative outcomes, thereby enhancing safety, efficiency, and overall well-being.
