Decision matrix risk-assessment (DMRA) technique is a systematic approach widely used in the Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) risk assessment. In a typical matrix method approach, a measure of risk
value is obtained by evaluating two risk factors as the likelihood of a hazard and the severity of the
hazard when it arises. In this paper, a fuzzy approach enabling experts to use linguistic variables for
evaluating two factors which are the parameters of matrix method is proposed to deal with shortcomings of a crisp risk score calculation and to decrease the inconsistency in decision making. The parameters likelihood and severity related to the hazards in an aluminum plate manufacturing plant are
weighted by using Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP), then the orders of priority of 23 various
hazard groups are determined by using Fuzzy TOPSIS (Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to
Ideal Solution) method. As a follow-up study of the case application, the proposed risk assessment
methodology is applied for hazard types in each department of the plant. Depending on the hazard
control hierarchy, control measures are overtaken for the hazards that are placed at rst of intradepartment rankings.

1. Introduction
Risk is dened as the combination of the severity of the harm
and the occurrence probability of this harm (Guneri and Gul, 2013;
Guneri et al. 2015). Risk assessment is an essential tool for the
safety policy of a company (Marhavilas and Koulouriotis, 2008). It
includes identifying and evaluating all possible risks, reducing
them and documenting the results, respectively (Main, 2012). The
plentifulness in risk-assessment methods is such that there are
many appropriate methods for any circumstance and the selection
of the right is essential. Several methods are developed to assess
risks in the literature. These methods are classied into two main
groups as qualitative and quantitative in most sources (Tixier et al.
2002; Reniers et al. 2005; Marhavilas et al. 2011; Marhavilas and
Koulouriotis, 2008). Multi criteria decision making (MCDM) base
methods are used as quantitative risk assessment methods in the
literature.
MCDM is a discipline that makes the decision maker's preferences explicit in decision making environments of multiple criteria.
It can simultaneously evaluate the multiple and conicting criteria.
A MCDM method should have the following characteristics (Amaral
and Costa, 2014): (1) the alternatives to be evaluated, (2) the
criteria which the alternatives are evaluated depending on, (3)
scores that reect the value of an alternative's expected performance on the criteria, and (4) weights of criteria that represent
relative importance of each one as compared in pair-wise manner.
However in some conditions, crisp data based MCDM methods are
inadequate to model real-life problems, these methods used in
fuzzy environment (Ebrahimnejad et al. 2010).
Fuzzy MCDM is used to model the vagueness. Since, many realworld systems include incomplete and imprecise information
(Karsak and Dursun, 2015). Also, in MCDM methods, it is often a
difcult evaluation for decision makers to give a precise rating to an
alternative with respect to the criteria. Giving the relative importance of criteria using fuzzy numbers instead of crisp numbers is
one of the advantages of fuzzy MCDM methods. So, in this paper we
prefer fuzzy MCDM methods in assessment of potential hazards in
aluminum industry.
This paper presents a combined fuzzy AHP-fuzzy TOPSIS risk

extent values of the pair wise comparisons. In our study we use the
method of Buckley's (1985). Because in other methods, there are
some limitations. For example, the extent analysis method could
not make full use of all the fuzzy comparison matrices information,
and might cause an irrational zero weight to the selection criteria
(Chan and Wang, 2013). The procedure of the method is dened in
four steps in the following (Tzeng and Huang, 2011; Gl et al.,
2012).
Step 1: Pair wise comparison matrices are constructed among all
the elements/criteria in the dimensions of the hierarchy system.
Linguistic terms to the pair wise comparisons are assigned by
asking which is the more important of each two elements/criteria,
such as.

of a crisp risk score calculation and (2) to decrease the inconsistency in decision making for aluminum industry. First, a group of
OS experts identies the potential hazards. Second, a pair-wise
comparison matrix for two risk parameters is constructed, and
Buckley's FAHP is utilized to determine the weights of these risk
factors. Then, experts' linguistic evaluations of each hazards with
respect to risk parameters are aggregated to get a mean value. By
the aid of obtained fuzzy decision matrix, implementation of fuzzy
TOPSIS is carried out. In fuzzy TOPSIS process, by using the weights
of risk parameters and the fuzzy decision matrix, weighted
normalized fuzzy decision matrix is constructed. Subsequently,
FPIS and FNIS and the distance of each hazards from FPIS and FNIS
are calculated, respectively. In nal step, fuzzy TOPSIS closeness
coefcients of processes are obtained. According to the closeness
coefcients, the ranking order of all hazard groups is determined.
Also the ranking of hazards for each department of the factory are
obtained. Fig. 1 represents proposed fuzzy multi criteria risk
assessment model based on decision matrix risk assessment
method.
4. Application of the proposed methodology
The proposed methodology is applied to an aluminum facility.
The facility in our study is located in Tekirdag, Turkey. The rm is
founded as the rst at product manufacturer in Turkey. By the year
of 2011, it has reached a total export ratio of 50%. The rm is placed
350th among the largest 500 companies in Turkey. In its machinery
park, it has casting lines, cold rolling mills, slitting lines, cut-tolength line, annealing furnaces and tension leveling & degreasing
lines. The products are plain coils and strips, stucco embossed coils
and strips, cast coils, and plain and stucco embossed sheets.
Main hazard list is identied by a group of OS experts within 23
items as falling from the height (H1), falling on the same level (H2),
falling of objects (H3), collision (H4), getting hit (H5), slipping (H6),
being dragged along (H7), strain (H8), getting an electric shock
(H9), ammable destruction (H10), explosive destruction (H11),
exposure to chemicals (H12), popping out materials (H13), blowing
materials (H14), sinking materials (H15), re (H16), getting
drowned (H17), suffocation from gas (H18), exposure to welding
beam (H19), poisoning (H20), exposure of the eyes to burrs (H21),
touch hot surfaces (high or low temperature, boiling water) (H22),
and panic and disturbance (H23).
After the identication of the hazards, by utilizing Buckley's
FAHP method, evaluations of three OS experts in linguistic variables
are used to determine the importance of two risk parameter (S, and
P) by pair-wise comparison. In this paper, the OS experts use the
linguistic variables to evaluate the risk parameters' weights in
lu, 2012). The evaluation in linguistic
Table 4 (Kutlu and Ekmekiog
form is presented in Table 5. For instance, when comparing the risk
parameter likelihood and severity, the responses of three experts
are fairly weak (FW), very weak (VW), and very weak (VW),
respectively. After applying FAHP the weights of risk parameters
are obtained as (0.639, 0.361) for S and P, respectively.
Then, by using the risk parameters' weights from Buckley's
FAHP, and the fuzzy evaluations of each risk parameter with respect
to hazard groups, fuzzy TOPSIS is applied. In the paper, the OS experts make the evaluation of hazard groups using linguistic variables as shown in Table 6. The evaluations of the OS experts in
linguistic variables for the risk parameters with respect to 23
different hazard group are expressed as in Table 7. For example, the
three OS experts evaluated the hazard (H1)-falling from the height
as medium good (MG), fair (F), medium good (MG) respectively for
severity (S), and medium poor (MP), medium poor (MP), and poor
(P) respectively for likelihood (P).
The fuzzy linguistic variables in Table 7 is then transformed into

the similarities to an ideal solution by Eq. (12). The resulting fuzzy
TOPSIS analyses are summarized in Table 9. According to the fuzzy
TOPSIS method, the highest hazard group is the one which has the
shortest distance from the fuzzy positive ideal solution and farthest
distance from the fuzzy negative ideal solution. Related to the results, the ranking of the hazards are determined by giving Ci value
