Ports are complex systems that play a crucial role in the transportation of maritime-related products and services. Since ports face various safety issues in design, installation, operation and maintenance processes, there are many aspects open for improvement in Occupational Health and Safety risk assessment and it is required to deal with risks, reduce them to an acceptable level and control. To struggle with emerging risks and manage this process better, a risk assessment framework is proposed for ports in this study. A case study is performed in a Turkish international port authority using the proposed framework. Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), which is a commonly used fuzzy multi-criteria decision-making method, was used in weighting two risk factors: likelihood and severity. The orders of priority of hazards were then determined by a fuzzy-based VIKOR method based on the output of FAHP. The proposed framework overcomes some drawbacks, including a lack of assignment on the weight to two risk assessment factors and lack of the high dependence of the prioritisation on the experts’ opinions. To validate the results, a sensitivity analysis was conducted. In conclusion, the study contributes to the applicability of the proposed framework to assess the risks in ports and provides a distinct risk prioritisation.

基于模糊的职业健康安全风险评估框架和国际港务局案例研究

港口是复杂的系统，在与海运相关的产品和服务的运输中发挥着至关重要的作用。由于港口在设计、安装、运营和维护过程中面临各种安全问题，职业健康安全风险评估有许多方面需要改进，需要应对风险，将其降低到可接受的水平和控制。为了应对新出现的风险并更好地管理这一过程，本研究为港口提出了一个风险评估框架。使用提议的框架在土耳其国际港务局进行了案例研究。模糊层次分析法（FAHP）是一种常用的模糊多标准决策方法，用于加权两个风险因素：可能性和严重性。然后根据 FAHP 的输出，通过基于模糊的 VIKOR 方法确定危险的优先顺序。拟议的框架克服了一些缺点，包括缺乏对两个风险评估因素的权重分配以及对专家意见的优先排序缺乏高度依赖。为了验证结果，进行了敏感性分析。总之，该研究有助于拟议框架在评估港口风险方面的适用性，并提供了明确的风险优先级。进行了敏感性分析。总之，该研究有助于拟议框架在评估港口风险方面的适用性，并提供了明确的风险优先级。进行了敏感性分析。总之，该研究有助于拟议框架在评估港口风险方面的适用性，并提供了明确的风险优先级。
