Abstract. This work intended to study and solve the problem of risk analysis at mining and processing enterprises. The mining industry in Ukraine and many other countries is the key sector of the national economies, but it also involves significant hazards and harmful impacts on workers and the environment. Therefore, effective risk analysis is an important step to ensure employee safety and reduce negative environmental impacts. The authors of the article first of all identify the drawbacks of the traditional method of risk analysis based on the creation of Ishikawa cause-and-effect diagrams. These drawbacks include the difficulty of prioritising risks and the lack of visual elements in this method. However, this method is often used in the mining industry due to its common acceptance. The authors propose to use a score-modified version of the Ishikawa diagram as a modern tool for risk analysis at mining and processing enterprises. This modification includes the addition of visual elements that make the analysis more understandable and informative. Besides, the modified diagram includes a risk priority number scale, which allows to prioritise risks both within groups and individual risks. The article also proposes an algorithm for creating modified cause-and-effect diagrams and provides an example of its application in practice. Using this algorithm, the authors study the harmful factors for three working professions at a crushing plant of one of the mining and processing enterprises in Ukraine. The result of the modified cause-and-effect diagram is the visualisation of data on risks and their possible consequences. This allows for management decisions on occupational health and safety aimed at reducing the impact of hazardous and harmful factors on employees and the environment. The use of the modified diagram facilitates the systematisation and analysis of data, making it a valuable tool for risk management at mining and processing enterprises. Overall, this article makes an important contribution to the field of risk analysis in the mining and processing industry and provides a new approach to ensure the safety of workers and the environment at these enterprises. The modified Ishikawa diagram is becoming a powerful tool for risk management and can be used not only in the mining industry, but also in other areas where safety and risk management is important.
Keywords: occupational safety; occupational health; data visualization.
