6. Qualitative methods of risk calculation
Marí:
This methodology is often used by technicians for
Prevention Risk assessments jobs and general corporate
facilities.
Identifying the level of risk is performed through a double
entry table in a 5 x 5 matrix is divided into two parts:
Chance:
Very Low: Realization of very improbable or remote damage.
Low: Materialization possible damage.
Casual: The realization of damage can happen on occasion.
High: The realization of damage can occur with some frequency.
Very high: The materialization of the risk occurs frequently.

7. Consequences:
Very mild: Requires medical and health control. Required medical-
pharmaceutical treatment. Does not interrupt workday worker.
Mild: Requires medical health checks and medical-pharmaceutical
treatment. Does not interrupt workday worker.
Grave: Requires medical health checks and medical-
pharmaceutical treatment. Interrupts generating part-time worker
low.
Fatal: Requires medical health treatment and medical-
pharmaceutical control. Interrupts generated workday worker of
low and may cause permanent disability to perform his usual Total
work.
Death and disability: Requires medical health checks and medical-
pharmaceutical treatment. It can cause death or permanent total
disability to perform all kinds of work.

9. Osalán:
It is a methodology developed by the Basque Institute of Occupational
Health and Safety, along with Mondragon Corporation (MCC), and the
Fundation LEIA.
Its interpretation and application is basically the same as the method
Marí, although the matrix is 3 x 3, and also adds a number of variables
based on the result interpretation.
It has two phases:
Hazards Identification: At this stage, it is about identifying the hazards
present company, typified by a series of accidents whose occurrence is
feasible and can lead to adverse impacts.
Risk estimation: Keep in mind the following:
Determination of the probability of occurrence of impact (P).
Scoping consequences or adverse impacts which can cause accidental
situations analyzed (C).
Estimating the level of potential hazard by product PX C.

PROBABILITY CONCEPT
LOW
The adverse impact will occur rarely.
MEDIUM
The impact will occur on occasion.
HIGH
The impact will occur always or almost
always.

11. Estimate of the consequences:
Mª José Hernández González 11
CONSEQUENCES HARMFUL
Slightly harmful
•Surface damage (cuts and small bruises, eye irritation by dust), discomfort
and irritation (headache, discomfort).
The environmental impact is limited to a small plant environment. No
environmental damage to the exterior of the facility industry-
The cost of repairing damage to the goods, including any penalties, is less
than 30,000 €.
Harmful
•Lacerations, burns, shocks, major sprains, minor fractures, deafness,
dermatitis, asthma, musculoskeletal disorders, a disease that leads to less
disability.
• The environmental impact affects a large part of the plant or may exceed
the perimeter of it with slight damage on the environment in limited areas.
• The cost of repairing the environmental damage, including any penalties
and can reach € 300,000.
Extremely harmful
Amputations, major fractures, poisoning, multiple injuries, fatal injuries,
cancer and other chronic diseases that severely shorten life.
Amputations, major fractures, poisoning, multiple injuries.
The environmental impact beyond the plant perimeter and serious damage
can occur even in large areas outside the industrial facility.
•Major Accident.
•The cost of repairing the environmental damage, including any penalties,
exceeds € 300,000.

13. Preparation and content of the evacuation plan
Contents:
Calculation of occupation.
Number of departure and lenghth of the
evacuation routes.
Stairs.
Meeting point.
Estimation the evacuation time.
Recommendations.
Mª José Hernández González 13

14. Calculation of occupation
Calculate the number of people who may normally occupy at most
every area of the building or unit, establishing a maximum capacity
for each unit or area of ​​the building and determine the maximum
capacity of the entire building by the sum of the maximum capacity
of each unit:
i
Total capacity Total =  n i
¹
To calculate the number of people depending on the size of the
company, we will rely on the provisions of the Building Code, in which
the densities of occupation m² / person fixing, depending on usage
and the type of area.
Mª José Hernández González 14

15. Number of departures and length of runs
Number of departures:
As for the required number of exits floor in a building, will require a
ground output when the following situations occur simultaneously:
The total occupancy does not exceed 100 people, the occupation
may be 500 people, except for residential use.
At school, the limit of students in order to have only one output is
set to 50.
If the height of evacuation of the area of the proposed plant will not
exceed 28 meters in height, will be set up on two floors they were
all equipped with detection and automatic alarm transmission.
In all other cases will always mandatory to have at least two exits
from floor.
Mª José Hernández González 15

16. Length of walking:
One plant output: Can not exceed 25 meters for all uses, except in the
following cases:
It will be 35 meters, if it is the parking use.
It will be 50 meters, if it is a plant, including parking use, which has a
direct exit to the outside safe space and occupancy exceeds 25 people , or
an outdoor space where the risk of fire is irrelevant .
Several plants:The path length shall not exceed 50 meters for all uses except
for the following cases:
You must be a maximum of 35 meters in areas where the presence of
sleeping occupants is expected, or in hospital wards or intensive care and
hospital use in plant nursery or primary school .
It can be up to 75 meters in open space where the risk of fire statement
irrelevant.
The length of the paths through corridors , stairways and ramps shall be
measured along the axis thereof.
Are not considered valid tours escalators.
Parking In use, the evacuation routes should be run in the streets of
vehicular traffic or pedestrian routes for protected against invasion of
vehicles.
Except for parking areas of no occupation and the occupied only by
maintenance personnel or service control areas are not considered valid
the evacuation routes that need saving.
Mª José Hernández González 16

17. Stairs
Types of stairs:
Open stairs: Those whose route runs through an open at least
one side and, therefore, presents a risk of spread of smoke in
case of fire through.
Protected stairs: Those whose route runs within an enclosure
closed staircase whose bounding elements are fire resistant
constituting.
Stairs Specially Protected: Those qualifying protected staircase
and also have a hall of independence in each of his hits from
each plant.
Exteriors staircases: That which has permanently open to the
outside holes on each floor, an area of 5XA accumulate m2 at
least "A" being the width of the flight of stairs, in meters.

18. Dimensions of the ladder:
Decreasing evacuation: Open stairs or unprotected.
W= N / 160
W, the windth
N, the occupaton of calculation
Ascending evacuation: Open stairs or unprotected.
A = N / (160-10h)

Stairs specially protected:
N = 3S + 160 A

19. Meeting point
Concept: Means meeting point, the place provided in the Emergency
Plan or Self-Protection Plan for responding to the same all evacuees in
order to make a count and a visual check by building staff, as it is detected
the missing someone.
The venue is considered a safe outdoor space and its location is marked
on the attached drawings to document further to describe the same.
Criteria for determining the number of venues:
The minimum distance of points meeting the stricken building, which
is set to 0.1 * P, where P is the number of evacuees pre ² visibly attend
that meeting point. The minimum distance shall not be less than
1metros.
The minimum area of the meeting point, it must be able to
accommodate all evacuees expected at 0.5 people / m².
Mª José Hernández González 19

20. Estimate of evacution time
Detection time: Dt. A maximum
value of 10 minutes in the case of
human detection, and 1 minute for
the case of automated alarm center
is considered.
Alarm Time: At. It is considered in
any case, for a minute.
Delay time: Dt 1 minute for trained
personnel and 5 minutes are
considered if the Plan is not
implemented evacuation.
Evacuation time: Et. When
considering the movement of an
adult, journey times take on the 1
m/s horizontally and 0.5 m / s
vertically.

22. Recommendations
If you discover a fire, stay calm and give alarm immediately.
If you are alone, get the local fire and you close the door unlocked.
Emergency Communication according to the mechanisms established in
your workplace.
