Risk Assessment of Work Accident in Container Terminals Using the Fault Tree Analysis Method

Abstract

The use of containers in the world is increasing every year in line with international trade flows. In very complex container terminal operations, the risk of work accidents is inevitable and can happen at any time. Therefore, this paper aimed to identify accidents and potential risks occurring in the container terminals. For the case study, the analysis was used the data of accidents during five years in one of the major container terminals in Indonesia. Risk assessment is carried out using the risk matrix method to get the level of risk. The risk that has the highest level is analyzed by using the Fault Tree Analysis method. From the results of the risk assessment shows the container fell to the berth when loading and unloading have the highest risk value. While the results of the Fault Tree Analysis show that traffic accidents are the biggest potential risk, which is 41.8% compared to other accidents. Moreover, human factors especially due to the negligence in operating vehicles or equipment as well as the damage of equipment were the highest common causes of accidents in the container terminal. Based on these results the contribution offered is the risk control options for terminal operators to reduce the possibility of safety failure in the container terminal.

Machine Learning-Based Models for Accident Prediction at a Korean Container Port

“…The change in i(τ), ∆i, which can be attributed to the splitting and transmission of the samples to two subnodes τ l and τ r (with sample fractions p l = n l n and p r = n r n , respectively) based on a threshold t θ for variable θ, can be calculated using Equation (4).…”

“…Most of the existing studies on the risk assessment of maritime ports have focused on port security [1][2][3] and port safety [4][5][6]. Notably, most studies focusing on the security considered only unusual events such as hostile attacks [7] and the smuggling of weapons [8], and most studies pertaining to port safety focused on accidents that occurred during usual port activities such as loading, discharging, importing, and exporting.…”

“…In the maritime field, several researchers have examined safety by predicting vessel accidents on the waterway [9], forecasting coastal waves [10], and examining ship collisions [11,12], among other aspects. Moreover, although several researchers have implemented risk assessment methods to identify the risk factors associated with container ports [4][5][6], research regarding the prediction of container port accidents remains limited.…”

Pencegahan Kecelakaan Kerja Dengan Metode Hiradc Di Perusahaan Fabrikasi Dan Machining

“…Identifikasi bahaya dilakukan dengan metode observasi atau pengamatan langsung di tempat kerja dan diskusi/wawancara dengan tenaga kerja. Sedangkan penilaian risiko adalah usaha untuk mengkalkulasi besarnya suatu risiko agar dapat diketahui apakah risiko dapat diterima ataupun tidak dengan terlebih dahulu menganalisis tingkat kemungkinan terjadinya kecelakaan serta tingkat keparahan yang ditimbulkan [11] [12]. Determining control atau pengendalian risiko adalah suatu proses evaluasi terhadap meminimalkan potensi terjadinya bahaya pada setiap kegiatan kerja berdasarkan mesin dilakukan dengan mengevaluasi minimasi potensi bahaya pada setiap aktivitas pekerjaan berdasarkan mesin.…”
