Risk assessment of parking lot management based on occupational injuries data

Abstract

This study is concerned with the characteristics of occupational injuries and sick leaves for the workers doing parking lot management. Possible incidents and sick leaves have been identified and analyzed for 470 occupational accidents in the parking lot management process. Management level of accidents for prioritizing prevention measures is induced for the combination of the accident types and parking lot management processes. Accidents occurring during the specific parking lot management process showed different characteristics, depending on the type of accident and agency of accident. Most critical accidents that required corrective actions for prevention were being struck by an object in the “guide” process and slipping in the “valet parking” process. And, possible incidents predicted also as high level of management were slips in the “fee collection” and “cleaning” processes and falls to lower level in the “operating lift” and “repair” processes. Also, traffic accidents in the “guide” process, overexertion and bodily reaction and posture in the “patrol” process were ranked ‘high. The findings of this study can be used to develop more effective accident prevention policies to reduce occupational accidents in parking lot management.

“…Marhavilas, Koulouriotis, and Gemeni () reviewed risk assessment methodologies and risk matrix‐based researches. Recently, efforts to evaluate the level of risk management using risk matrix have helped identify similar properties among particular groups of service industry workers (Jeong & Park, ; Kim, Park, & Jeong, ; Park & Jeong, ).…”
