Comparative analysis of the use of various criteria for assessing individual risk at the Navy facilities

Abstract

Introduction. The objectives of the study are to develop new risk assessment criteria and analyze their advantages, compare the results obtained with different approaches to the application of the existing methodology for calculating individual risks (using the example of one of the studied hypothetical objects). Results. New (additional) criteria for assessing individual risk with grouping of harmful substances, justified for use in calculating the individual risk of receiving a toxodose leading to mild injury (decreased performance). Limitations. The results obtained can be used in the development of methods for assessing the chemical safety of specific facilities and performing standardization work. Conclusion. The use of new approaches to risk calculation should provide an opportunity to more accurately assess the level of exposure for a person, predict the likelihood of adverse effects of varying severity and, accordingly, propose mechanisms to reduce exposure levels and take measures to minimize the negative impact.
