Abstract: In this paper are detailed the theoretically and applicative notions regarding the risks evaluation in order to assess the accidents of occupational health in accordance with ISO 18001. The case study consists on identification and evaluation of risk factors specific to a manufacturing process, and it is computed the global risk level for analyzed process, and the risks distribution for executants, work task, manufacturing equipment and work environment.
Brief Biography of the Speaker: Badea Lepadatescu is currently an Associate Professor at the Faculty of Technological Engineering and Industrial Management of Transylvania University of Brasov, Romania. He obtained his doctoral degree in 1998 in the area of machining through superfinishing process. After he graduated he worked five years as design engineer at Roman truck factory in the field of manufacturing processes where he designed many devices and special machine tools especially for superfinishing process. Started on 1982 he worked as research engineer at Transilvania University of Brasov, and after 1997 he is teaching at Department of Manufacturing Engineering.
