Assessment and improvement of safety in the operation of building structures in individual agricultural holdings: Risk analysis, technical standards, and best practices

The aim of the study was to conduct a comprehensive investigation into the safety of buildings in agricultural holdings. The study focused on identifying hazards, assessing risks, and proposing improvements. The use of FMEA and SWOT methods provided a detailed examination of potential hazards and effective solutions. Many farms lack knowledge in risk management, leading to neglected maintenance and inspections. Common issues include poor ventilation, moisture, and lack of safety standards. The absence of regular inspections of livestock buildings can lead to serious risks such as structural damage and fires. Systematic inspections for early fault detection are crucial. A comprehensive risk management approach – encompassing regular inspections, system upgrades, new technologies, and education – is essential for improving farm building safety.
