An RSI Understanding Risk method

Occupational risk profiling

Occupational risk profiling is one of the methods used by Risk Sciences International to better understand risk.

Broadly

Occupational risk profiling evaluates the specific hazards and exposures faced by workers in various sectors, roles, or settings. It considers chemical, physical, ergonomic, and psychosocial risks, along with duration and control measures. The goal is to identify high-risk groups and prioritize interventions. Challenges include inconsistent reporting and evolving job designs.

More specifically

RSI applies occupational risk profiling in sectors ranging from manufacturing to healthcare. Its approach combines exposure data, task analysis, and workforce demographics to develop structured profiles. RSI supports both regulatory compliance and organizational safety planning, and translates findings into recommendations for engineering, administrative, or behavioral controls.
