Introduction: Production and assembly of Poly Van light structures is a new industry. Unknown hazards may be seen during use of new technologies and industries. This study was done in order to identify the risk management of this hazards resulting from the new technology in Iran.
Methods: This practical study was done at four major units of Poly Van House factory using FMEA method for identification and prioritization of hazards in equipment related to the production process. This method helped researchers to identify effects of potential hazards on the production system, source of hazards, hazard rate, and severity of hazards in the workplace.
Results: In this study a number of 137 hazards were identified, that 60 of them were known as hazards with significant risk (RPN>300). Range of calculated RPN was between 162 and 720. Among evaluated hazards, high risk priority numbers were seen in hazardous operation and equipment respectively as follows: furnace torch without safety control, load falling from overhead crane, exposure to the chemical gases and vapors arising from foam injection operations. Contacting hot metal sheets in resistance welding has the minimum risk priority number.
Conclusion: With drew attention to the key point that production of Poly Van light structures is a new technology, a good hazard record keeping and documentation system related to incidents and equipments can produce basic information for later safety analysis. Also we can minimize possibility of occurring hazards and their outcomes with more safety inspections and preventive maintenance.
