Abstract
This study used a risk assessment tool to evaluate the key hazards and degree of risks in the production unit for digital printing, and on-site installation and dismantling. It determines the nature of existing risk controls and their effectiveness. With this, the hazards with the highest probability of occurring and with the greater severity were observed and recorded to minimize workers’ exposure to potential risk and ensure the safety of their workplace. Findings from the assessment showed that workers do not comply with the safety work measures for hazards that they perceived to be a low risk while they comply with safety work measures for hazards with medium to high risk.
