title: [Subjects of the risk assessment].
abstract: The Dlgs 626/94 describes a safety management system based on organizational and procedural actions, and leaves technical actions to a discretionary/secondary moment. This article debates how safety in the workplace takes place through planning and engineering of prevention measures. The most important mechanism is the "Risk Evaluation Proceeding", a process which encompasses three main steps: risks identification prevention measures identification planning of health/medical examinations and information/formation activities Due to the complexity of the risk evaluation, law obliges the employer to perform the process together with the Safety Manager, the Health Manager (Competent Persons), and after discussing with the Safety Representative. The writing specifically analyses the roles of the aforementioned actors in the risk evaluation proceeding, their civil as well as penal responsibilities.
