The number of returned valid questionnaires was 134 out of 151 and response rate was 88.74%. Questionnaire's reliability assessed by Cronbach's alpha was 0.928. The results indicated that 68.7% of workers had positive safety climate. The results also notified a significant relationship between age and safety climate (p < 0.05). Using ELECTRE method, most effective shift group and the least attractive alternatives for intervention were selected in this company.
