The processes of continuous steel casting should be realized in a way ensuring obtaining the designed quality properties of the cast. The basis of the balanced development, however, cause that the tendencies toward the continuous casting improvement are directed toward the minimizing its negative influence on the environment. The subject of the analysis is, considering the risk assessment, identification of the key-operational-features in the continuous casting process. The proposed methodology is of the utilitarian characteristics and can find the application in each organization which due to the operational monitoring wants to eliminate the defects and the environmental impacts within the realized processes.
