A New Approach to Fine Kinney Method and an Implementation Study
bib
Abstract
In the present day, importance of risk assessments are increasing due to rising awareness of occupational health and safety and excessing legal enforcements. Legal regulations in last years, force all the companies to complete their risk assessments according to their danger class in certain time periods. Technological changes in companies and new legislations are also forcing companies to do their risk assessments before its due time. This ensures risk analyses to be done in more frequent periods and increases importance of being applicable and suitable for the company’s structure of chosen risk assessment method. In this study, a new approach has been studied for Fine-Kinney method which is one of the mix risk assessment methods and which is used frequently in construction and cement industries. In this new approach, alternative scales have been created for probability and frequency scales which are used in conventional method. More probable and more frequent risk scores have been augmented to increase their sensitiveness and degree of importance. The new approach has been applied to a mid-scale company and positive or negative effects of scales, which are created with different interpolation results, have been examined. It has been observed that risk scores, which are obtained with the new approach, are more sensitive than conventional Fine-Kinney Methods’ risk scores. By this way, action plan of jobs has been changed and risks which are more important have been taken into consideration of company.

Fine Kinney Metodunda Yeni Bir Yaklaşım ve Bir Uygulama Çalışması
Öz
Günümüzde iş sağlığı ve güvenliği bilincinin artması ve yasal yaptırımların ciddi boyutlara ulaşması risk değerlendirmelerine verilen önemi daha da arttırmaktadır. Son yıllarda yapılan yasal düzenlemeler tüm kurumların risk değerlendirmelerini tehlike sınıflarına göre belirli zaman periyodlarında yapmalarını zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bir başka yasal düzenlemede de işletmelerdeki teknolojik değişimler ve yeni mevzuatların yayımlanması gibi sebeplerle yapılmış olan risk analizinin zaman periyodunun tamamlanmasını beklemeden yenilenmesi zorunlu hale getirilmiştir. Bu da risk analizlerinin çok daha sık periyodlarda yapılmasını ve dolayısıyla seçilecek risk değerlendirme yönteminin işletmenin yapısına uygun ve kolay uygulanabilir olmasının önemini artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada karma risk değerlendirme metotları arasında yer alan, inşaat ve çimento sanayide sıklıkla kullanılan Fine-Kinney metoduna yeni bir yaklaşım geliştirilmiştir Bu yaklaşımda klasik metottaki ihtimal ve frekans skalalarına alternatif skalalar oluşturulmuştur. Daha yüksek ihtimale ve daha sık frekansa sahip tehlikelerin skaladaki puanları yükseltilerek hassasiyet ve önem dereceleri daha da arttırılmıştır. Geliştirilen yaklaşım orta ölçekli bir işletmede uygulanmış ve farklı interpolasyon metotlarıyla oluşturulmuş skalaların yaratmış olduğu olumlu ve olumsuz etkiler incelenmiştir. Geliştirilen yaklaşım ile elde edilen risk puanlarının, klasik Fine-Kinney metodunun risk puanlarına göre daha hassas olarak ölçüm yaptığı gözlemlenmiştir. Böylece aksiyon planı alınacak işlerin öncelik sıralaması değişerek, daha yüksek öneme sahip risklerin farkındalığı arttırılmıştır.
