Background and aims: Assessment of performance indicator is one of the most important issues in the managerial systems that should be done in a correct way. The accuracy of the assessment is influenced by the assessors' judgment. This study was done in order to determine pattern of assessing of HSE unit performance in the steel industries.

Methods: In this study, 7 experts were defined indicators for assessing the performance of HSE units in the steel industry. Then, the weights of the indicators were obtained by fuzzy linguistic terms. Then, one of the largest steel industries was assessed by using normalized weights of the indicators.

Results: the results of this study showed, that the most important index in Health domain is occupational disease control program (0.057) and the most important index in safety domain is fire hazard control program (0.062) and in Environmental domain was air pollution control program (0.054). Also, the results showed that the most common causes of reduced HSE unit performance were related to health and environment domains indices.

Conclusion: Results showed that the majority of safety indicators were influenced by HSE Managerial Systems in the short term; however, this system needs more time to show its efficacy in the Health and Environmental domains indicators.
