Fermatean Fuzzy MOORA-based Approach for Hazard Analysis in An Aluminium Company

Introduction/Objective: Hazard analysis as one of the main study subjects in ergo nomics and occupational health and safety (OHS) risk assessment is a critical requirement for ensuring the health and safety of workers in work environments. Current hazard analysis ap proaches in the literature may have some shortcomings. This study aims to provide more relia ble assessments in the hazard analysis process by overcoming the shortcomings of classical ap proaches. Methods: This study proposes a new hazard analysis approach based on the integration of the Fermatean Fuzzy set and the multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method MOORA. Results: The proposed approach is used to perform a hazard analysis of a company operating in the metal industry, which is one of the sectors where occupational accidents and occupational diseases most often occur. As a result of the application, the hazards and associated risks in the aluminum metal company are prioritized. Conclusion: This study provides an advanced risk assessment technique for ergonomists and OHS professionals to make better decisions in hazard analysis studies.
