The method adopted involves the risk analysis of selected industrial activities, identification of some parameters against risk format and evaluation of risk assessment model by weighing the probability of an event occurring against its consequences. Six case studies of job activities/operations were evaluated and subjected to risk assessment using risk matrix. Analyses of critical components that constitute hazard to suit the risk severity of high, medium and low risks were presented. Results showed that operations associated with high risk regime on implementation of risk management model were mitigated to low risk and situation brought under control or eliminated.</abstract></article-meta></front><body /><back /></article>
