Study of Risk Identification Factors in Foundry Industrial
Abstract
The Purposes of this research were to
- study and analyze hazard in working in foundry industries.
- study the causes and the levels of hazard in working.
- assess risks in the foundry industries.
A target group consisted of 380 persons working in the foundry industries in Thailand selected by a stratified sampling. Statistics used in this research were mean, percentage, standard-error, and correlation so as to assess the risks involved and to discover possibilities of hazard in the working places. A statistical mean (y) = 0.75 and standard-error (S.E.) = 0.0551 showed a medium level of the hazard. Significant statistic Chi – Square test = 0.05 resumed that the dangers which occurred are related to these factors: the working places, workers, a number of working hours/day and an amount of working time/hour which determined the risks of accident leading even to death. The death possibility was = 3.04×10-6 , body organ loss = 1.968×10-5, a loss of 3 workdays = 0.086, a loss of less than 3 days = 0.028 or no accident = 0.704. The occurrence of accidents related to these various factors. The possibility of accident related to the work plan at each level of production.
