Trusted Services for Risk Management in WorkEnvironments

In work environments, considered as pervasive environments with persons, materials, and tools which can be controlled via heterogeneous technological devices, several risks can be corrected and even prevented if properly managed. We propose an approach to address risks in work environments through trusted web services widespread on the various devices which monitor and control the safety status of the environment. We integrate the notion of risks in an environment with trust, such that one drives the other providing feedback for dynamic alerts based on the environment's constraints. A trusted cooperation protocol for services is outlined so that services can interact along wireless lines or service grids. We outline the technological features of a service system, which collects data from sensors and implements safety control technologies in work areas

Risk assessment in work environments: modeling and simulation

The paper proposes a characterization of risks and a service-oriented prototype to face risky situations in work environments, such as in industrial plants or building construction areas. A risk is the overture of emergencies that produce human and/or material damages. Therefore, it is particularly critical to identify and manage risks to avoid their evolution into emergencies. In this paper, we outline the technological features of a risk environment and propose a risk model and a service-based simulation prototype aimed to improve safety in work environments. We discuss engineering issues concerning risk modeling and management. Furthermore, we propose a risk management system solution and its related implemented prototype composed of services able to detect and also to prevent the occurrence of risk conditions
