Evaluating Critical Safety and Health Risks by Job Safety Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process in Industrial Printing

“…Information was collected by visiting, observing, and completing an occupational safety analysis checklist. Then, the steps of the work were determined and the hazards (ergonomic, mechanical, physical, and chemical) existing or potentially related to each step were identified and determined [5][6][7]. Critical health and safety risks were considered for tasks that are a real threat in which decision-making and action to correct that situation are necessary.…”

“…This method is implemented with minimal equipment and financial resources and only with a careful study based on the ability of the assessment team and the experience of the interviewees (workers and operators). All people, both managers, and workers benefit from the results in proportion to their information which will increase employees' understanding of the level of risk and will have a positive effect on their behavior [6]. As a result, it will reduce critical safety and health risks [7].…”
