Those who design, manufacture or import machinery, equipment, apparatus, raw materials, materials, etc., and those who design or construct projects should implement risk assessment (the process of identifying, analyzing and evaluating risks) at the design, manufacture, import or construction planning stage, and endeavor to prevent occupational disasters from occurring in the use of these objects or in the construction of projects.
