Abstract
Risk assessment education is being conducted at numerous enterprises, including public institutions. At the same time, according to statistics from the Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare of Japan, in the general construction business the tendency to consider risk assessment to be of little consequence due to a lack of accidents or because simply complying with laws and regulations is considered enough shows an increasing trend from 2005 to 2013 (surveys were conducted in the preceding years). Risk assessment can be considered an effective measure both for identifying the locations of danger and dangerous tasks and for prioritizing and visualizing improvements through quantifying and assessing the extent of their danger and the likelihood of an accident occurring, to give all related parties an opportunity to think about reducing risks. Accordingly, we examined what kinds of measures should be implemented to improve the quality of risk assessment education, through actual practice conducted from 2011 through 2014. Especially, Risk assessment promoters of each department play important roles in our company.
