Abstract
Due to new regulations, laws and increasing demand from consumers, companies begin to enhance their environmental management practices. Hence, environmental risk assessment became one of the critical success factors for companies in order to be successful. Environmental risk assessment approaches under Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) activities vary among industries and taking precautions about environmental issues lead researchers and practitioners to create new approaches. Also, subjectivity of existing methods, advancement of technology, and aim to minimize risk levels and rivalry among competitors are some of the main reasons for development of new approaches. This study aims to propose a new fuzzy-based approach for environmental risk assessment along with Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) for environmental risk assessment. Hereby, along with the consideration of categorical impacts such as to human health and environment, new approach is applied and compared with classic AHP results. According to the implementation results on a chemical ranch of a textile company, new approach minimizes subjectivity besides of flexible, original, and easy to implement for researchers and practitioners.
