abstract="Safety analysis was applied in the design of a section at a paper mill. The case study involved analysis of layout, transport system, machines, and a number of different activities. The purpose of the analysis was to find measures to decrease occupational accidents. Three years after the installation was finished the occurrence of accidents was investigated. There was a 56% decrease in the number of accidents; the number of working days lost due to accidents was diminished by 75% as compared to 4 years preceding. The results of the safety analysis were also evaluated with respect to the accidents which had occurred. The methods for safety analysis seem to have been efficient in identifying hazards. The general conclusion of the study is that safety analysis can be an effective tool to decrease occupational accident risks.",
