摘要

Risk assessment in the ergonomics area is critical for controlling hazards and ensuring occupational health and safety (OHS) in workplaces. Risk assessment often employs the Fine-Kinney method (FKM). The FKM-based evaluation approach has the disadvantages of not addressing uncertainties arising from the assessments of OHS specialists’ and from the imprecise data, and of not determining the risk precedence of occupational hazards and the precedence of measures to be taken. Thus, a novel system is needed to provide a more comprehensive and accurate assessment. In this study, an integrated model is developed that combines FKM, Multi-Criteria Decision-Making (MCDM) methods AHP and CoCoSo, and the House of Quality (HOQ) method under the interval-valued neutrosophic (IVN) environment. For this purpose, the risk parameters of FKM are evaluated using IVN-AHP, and the hazards are ranked through the IVN-CoCoSo method. Then, the preventive measures are prioritized by the IVN-HOQ method. The proposed model is applied for the risk assessment of the excavation work at a building construction site. The findings show that the failure to determine the location of the lines is the most important hazard while taking specific safety measures appropriate for critical activities and ensuring strict compliance is the most important measure with a 13% significance share. To validate the new risk assessment approach, a comparative study is also provided. This study will enhance the current ergonomics risk evaluation mechanism in the construction industry and contribute to making better decisions in this field.
