Abstract: (90 Views)
Introduction: Multiple safety challenges exist in mines. Therefore, using decision-making methods that can understand and model various perspectives and human experiences is of great importance. This study aims to investigate and prioritize the root causes of safety challenges from the perspectives of safety experts, supervisors, and employees in a mine.
Material and method: This was a descriptive-analytical study which conducted in an iron ore mine. The study was carried out in two stages. In the first stage, five factors—management, human, machinery, environment, and materials—were identified as the root causes of mining safety challenges. In the second stage, these causes were prioritized using the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method and expert opinions.
Results: The study results showed that the relative importance of the root causes of safety challenges varied from different perspectives. Safety experts gave the highest weight to the management factor (0.52), supervisors to the human factor (0.47), and employees to the machinery factor (0.37).
Conclusion: The study's results indicated that each group has different perspectives on the factors affecting safety based on their experiences and roles within the organization. If these differences are properly managed and coordinated, they can be used as opportunities to enhance safety. However, if ignored, they may lead to serious problems.
