Assessment of hazards at hospitals

Accidents are unwanted events that create damages to assets and the organization in general. An accident highlights a defect in the system and after an accident the defect and ways to create the optimum situation should be assessed [1]. Every organization needs an updated and proper system that is a balanced mixture of management, engineering, and educational methods to control hazard and accidents [2]. The main problem in the way of safety and health managers is to identify and eliminate the hazards that cause damage to individuals and equipment. If the hazards cannot be eliminated completely, the experts need to introduce recommendations to control and decrease the risk of hazards as much as possible [3]. Lack of physical activity in patients and their dependence on stationary equipment highlights the importance of safety at hospitals. Observance of safety at hospitals helps controlling and attenuating hazards to some extent. Given the extensive accidents and the financial load, safety management at hospitals is highly imperative [4]. In general, risk assessment consists of three steps including hazards identification, risk calculation, and control measures [5]. Implementation of safety system based on management monitoring and risk assessment principle is important [6, 7]. In addition to unwanted consequence, work accidents in health sectors cause extensive economic damages and casualties [8]. According to the World Labor Organization (WLO), observation of safety standards by the government, manager, and employees can prevent the damages of work accident [9]. Damages sustained by employees and equipment by accident are predictable using hazard assessment methods and control measures [10]. Alleviation of risks depends on our perception of the nature of risk and the level of acceptable risk [11]. Hazard assessment is a part of hazard assessment process. Results of hazard assessment helps us in prioritizing, finding control solution, and convince managers to dedicate budget to preventive measures [12-14]. Through systematic assessment of potential risks, we can protect workforce’ health and the assets by taking effective measures [15]. There are different scientific hazard assessment methods available like primary hazard assessment (PHA), FMEA, failure tree analysis (FTA), hazard and operation assessment (HAZOP), ETBA, HEMP, HOSHRA, and AHP [16, 17]. The FMEA method has been one of the widely used risk assessment methods in all industries and hospitals since 2000. The method identifies and eliminates errors, problems, and potential mistakes using engineering methods and analyzes the results semi-quantitively so that the potential risk, causes, and effects are identified and ranked [29, 30]. Currently, FMEA method is commonly used for risk assessment at hospitals.
