Implementation of a system for evaluation risk and management safety in an Italy farm

In Italy accidents in agriculture are a major part of total accidents at work. The aim of this study is to develop and apply tools for the analysis of risk assessment and its use of integrated methods aimed at security management in the Azienda Agraria Didattico-Sperimentale of Università Politecnica of Marche. In order to analyze the risks assessment, a mechanism based on some indicators was planned. The measurements were carried out "in field", through inspections, not neglecting, however, the news gleaned from the documentation provided by the Azienda Agraria itself, and interviews with workers. To evaluation risks a database and checklists to gather data were created and were used. The measurements on the structures, areas, machinery and equipment company were made. The results were elaborated and organized to quickly identify risks. The elaborated data show risks arising from physical agents such as noise and vibrations, UV, manual handling of loads and risk from carcinogenic and mutable agents. The most obvious deficiencies are in fact mainly due to the lack of systematic checks on plants and equipments: the Azienda Agraria is directed to enhancing the training and information plans about safety and health in agriculture and measures inspection of facilities and equipment to avoid a deterioration of the safety conditions within the Azienda Agraria.
