Seminar 7.The evaluation of dangerous and hazardous factors for human life.

Purpose: Realize the term Acceptable Risk; to identify, evaluate, and eliminate or control hazards so that the risks deriving from those hazards are acceptable.

Tasks: On grounds of a sociological approach to find out the statistical estimation of the evaluation of dangerous and hazardous factors for human life.

That premise is supported by this theory: If there are no hazards, if there is no potential for harm, risks of injury or damage cannot arise.

The term acceptable risk is becoming the norm. The more frequent use over time of the term acceptable risk in standards and guidelines is notable.

Students are offered 25 factors listed in Table 1 to assess the danger of life in Ukraine: the most dangerous factor (according to the student) – estimated at 25 points, and then – 24, 23, 22 and to the last, which is considered to be the least dangerous – at 1 point.

Clearly, having quite a different life experience, students in different ways evaluate the danger of a factor, so the obtained results should be statistically processed. For each factor one counts the number of points that he identified, this amount is divided by the number of surveyed students; the obtained value is an average rating of danger or another factor: the larger it is, the more dangerous factor is. The average score of every factor of danger is counted with help of this formula:

-individual students’ rates for every factor;

n – the number of questioned students.

If we assume that the listed factors cover all the hazards to human life, we can assess the relative share (percentagewise) of each factor by total number of undesirable consequences with the help of the formula:

The results are to be tabulated.

Summarizing, it must be said that the accuracy of such an assessment increases with the number of respondents, and depends on profession, age and sex.

The forecast of the possible increase of a lifetime on condition that we eliminate certain causes of death, allows us to detect dangerous factors for our life. According to the forecast of scientists the eliminate of major cardiovascular and renal diseases will increase our lifetime by 10.9 years, heart disease – by 5.9 years, malignancies – by 2.3 years, accidents (except car accidents) – by 0.6 of a year, automobile accidents – by 0.6 of a year, infectious diseases – by 0.2 of a year, and T.B. – by 0.1 of a year.
