Romania – Risc-Expert
_____________________________________________________________________
SUMMARY
The main purpose of the project is the development of a system and of a portal for analysis, description, classification and recording of the major occupational risks and of the preventive measures and computer-assisted training and consultancy for employees in organizations with major occupational risks.
The system will be adaptable for any domain with major occupational risks (industry, health, biology, construction, transportation, environment, agriculture etc) and will rely on a specialized language, on specialized knowledge and semantics for the risk prevention description. It will include software tools for the ‘operator-activity-machine’ communication and for the translation of the instructions existing in natural language (including in English) into a formalized, specialized and synthetic language for the risk prevention.

KEY OUTPUTS/RESULTS
* Design and development of reference ontology for the evaluation, classification and description of the risk factors, of the relationships among them, of the consequences and actions for their control and prevention;
* Design and development of domain-specific ontologies and knowledge bases (for the biological and industrial risks), by the specialization of the generic concepts, relationships and constraints in the reference ontology. The ontology of the biological risks will be tested and validated for a use category defined for an organization with biological occupational risks. The following categories of biological risks will be analyzed: risks specific to substances – bio-aerosols and chemical substances; intrinsic risks at the work place – increase of the patient home care; increased number of laboratories for analyses and research using dangerous substances; work with medical trash; risks generated by social or environmental phenomena – decreasing the work with biological substances in the advanced countries that leads to a weak development of the immunity regulatory mechanisms; climate change;
* Definition of an operator-activity-machine communication model and its use in the interface with the requestor for instructions on risk prevention in a certain activity
