AI Article Synopsis
- The paper discusses the complexity and importance of managing occupational safety, particularly in the processing industry.
- A new method for assessing occupational risks is introduced, which accounts for uncertainties in hazardous factors and consequence frequencies using fuzzy sets based on safety team input.
- The effectiveness of the proposed model is validated using real-life data from fruit processing firms in Central Serbia.
Article Abstract
Managing occupational safety in any kind of industry, especially in processing, is very important and complex. This paper develops a new method for occupational risk assessment in the presence of uncertainties. Uncertain values of hazardous factors and consequence frequencies are described with linguistic expressions defined by a safety management team. They are modeled with fuzzy sets. Consequence severities depend on current hazardous factors, and their values are calculated with the proposed procedure. The proposed model is tested with real-life data from fruit processing firms in Central Serbia.
