Abstract
Sustainability is a key factor in petroleum industry development, determining whether an enterprise has the ability to maintain high-quality safety management in the long term. In order to reduce occupational injuries and accidents, and to improve safety in the petroleum industry, this study proposes a hybrid approach based on the fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (FAHP), human factors, and the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation (FCE) method in order to assess safety performance in a petroleum enterprise. This paper is comprised of four stages. In the first stage, a model is constructed for assessing the safety of the petroleum industry based on a literature review. In the second stage, we use the FAHP to determine the weights of five factors and 19 sub-factors. In the third stage, employees are the subjects of a questionnaire on the safety performance of the petroleum enterprise. According to the analysis of the assessment results, we focus on improving employees’ safety behaviors and mental health. A second round of questionnaires is distributed to the employees, and a second set of assessment results obtained. Finally, the results of the two evaluations are compared, and the effectiveness of the combination of FAHP, human factors, and FCE is verified.
Highlights
Sustainability is often regarded as one of the main goals of the petroleum industry [1]
We can conclude that most oil accidents can be prevented by bottom-up safety communication, especially safety training of operators
(3) This paper proposes a comprehensive safety performance assessment model based on human communication would reduce the incidence of accidents in the oil industry
Summary
Sustainability is often regarded as one of the main goals of the petroleum industry [1]. The exploitation of oil resources is among the main causes of occupational injuries and accidents that have raised many sustainability issues [2]. The oil industry is considered a very dangerous sector [3], since the rate of occupational accidents and injuries is consistently high [4]. The cost of occupational accidents and injuries is extreme, for an employee, and for the future life of his or her whole family [5]. Millions of occupational injuries and accidents occur around the world every year and cause negative impacts on employees, enterprise, society, and national economies. The task of oil accident prevention appears enormous but understanding and identifying the root causes of these accidents and occupational injuries will help us to implement better safety management to prevent their re-occurrence
