Development and application of equipment maintenance and safety integrity management system

Loss prevention in turnaround maintenance projects by selecting contractors based on safety criteria using the analytic hierarchy process (AHP)

“…Safety indices may have other usages; they can be extended to represent the safety levels of instrument design or work conditions (Grattan and Nicholson, 2010).
