Using failure modes and effects analysis (FMEA) to risk assessment pipelines of petroleum products

Development of a novel Electrical Industry Safety Risk Index (EISRI) in the electricity power distribution industry based on fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP)

“…The three main factors influencing electrical accidents are unsafe equipment, unsafe working environment, and unsafe operational procedure based on OSHA scenario analysis [ 8 ]. The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) studied 244 large accidents and presented five case scenarios that characterize electrical accidents: direct contact of employees with power lines (28%), direct contact of the employees with the electrical network equipment (21%), lift boom contact with power grid (18%), worn or damaged equipment of the power network (17%), and contact of conductive equipment with power lines (16%) [ 9 ].…”

“…There are several methods of risk identification and risk assessment [ 8 , 15 , 16 ]. Risk assessment methodologies are divided into two main category including quantitative and qualitative tools according to the applied parameters [ 7 ].…”
