Introduction: Attention must be paid to the key role of chain dry boom cranes in heavy industrial projects such as the steel industry to identify and manage related occupational risks. This study aimed to identify, evaluate, and manage job risks associated with chain dry boom cranes in the Yazd Alloy Steel Oxygen Plant project using the HAZID technique and provide control strategies to reduce the risk level.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted qualitatively using the HAZID technique. The statistical population included 50 operators, managers, and project experts, and the required information was collected through semi-structured interviews and HAZID workshops. Identified risks were classified into three categories: technical, environmental, and human, and were evaluated using the risk matrix. Control measures to reduce risk were also proposed and implemented.
Results: In this research, occupational hazards by dry chain cranes were classified into three main categories technical hazards (40%), environmental hazards (30%), and human hazards (30%). Failure of hydraulic systems, boom, and safety equipment were considered as technical risks dealing with high voltage power lines and inappropriate weather effects as environmental risks use of unauthorized operators, and ignorance of safety principles were regarded as human risks.
Conclusion: This research showed that the level of risk decreased significantly after the implementation of control measures. Applying the HAZID technique in similar industrial projects can improve safety and prevent accidents by accurately identifying risks and providing preventive solutions.
