Abstract

In many accident reports, failure in situation awareness is mentioned as one of the immediate causes of those accidents. Accordingly, the identification of variables affecting situation awareness and their interactions are key factors in preventing accidents. This study aims to identify interactions among the most important individual, situational, and organizational variables affecting situation awareness in industrial workplaces. Using Fuzzy Delphi and Fuzzy DEMATEL methods, this study was conducted based on the data collected from experts’ judgments. The results show that organizational variables and some individual variables are the critical factors affecting situation awareness, and their effect is directly or indirectly created by situational and individual variables. The results of the study can be used to design proper guidelines for industry managers and employers to improve safety performance in the workplace; in addition, the findings of the study can be employed to design future studies to model the predictive power of variables affecting situation awareness in different work environments.
