TI  - Occupational Risk Assessment Using Spherical Fuzzy Safety and
Critical Effect Analysis for Shipyards
AB  - Today, occupational health and safety is a prominent issue in all branches of the industry. In Turkey, shipyards are highly prone to
accidents related to occupational safety. Clearly defining hazard risks and taking precautions against identified priority risks are essential
in preventing these risks. This study proposes a two-stage risk-assessment method based on spherical fuzzy sets (SFSs), which is a new
fuzzy set theory. A systematic risk-assessment tool with the SFSs was developed combining two of the most reliable decision-making
methods: “Analytical hierarchy process (AHP)” and “VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (VIKOR).” The proposed
method was applied in a real case study considering the shipyards in Turkey. Results showed that the developed two-stage risk-assessment
approach provides reasonable results in identifying high-risk hazards to ensure occupational safety in a shipyard. A sensitivity analysis
was conducted to show the reliability and validity of the results.
