A Decision Support Model for Prioritization of Regulated Safety Inspections Using Integrated Delphi, AHP and Double-Hierarchical TOPSIS Approach

Abstract: Planning regulated occupational safety and health (OSH) inspections is dependent on the prioritization scheme followed by inspection agencies. It is probable that the methods used by OSH inspectorates for decision making on inspection priorities is not efficient enough to cover all the hazardous firms which is evidenced by less than expected reduction in injury rates in many countries. The objective of the current research is to present a prioritization model based on four criteria comprising thirteen subcrite… Show more

“…As a result, the firms and the number of inspectors required per week change. To explain this, it should be recalled that the OSH inspectorate is supposed to prioritize firms for inspection based on some safety performance criteria using a prioritization model such as the one proposed by Zyoon [15]. Using firm priority index produced from such a prioritization model, the PIT macro scheduling approach is used to distribute firms uniformly throughout a timeframe (T) so that every year a number of firms are scheduled for inspection.…”

“…where αi has a value in the interval (0,1) with 0 and 1 representing the least and the highest possible priorities, respectively. The priority index (αi) is calculated using a method such as the one proposed by Zytoon [15]. However, due to the disadvantage of the linear ti-αi relationship, PIT is a much better alternative that can be used for transforming (1) into a relationship between ti and the CDF of αi.…”

“…Consequently, MEA should be a good choice for land suitability assessment; however, different evaluation factors may have different effects on the comprehensive evaluation value [34], so the weights of factors are particularly important for evaluation. AHP models have been applied to determine the weights of factors in several studies and have produced good results in areas such as ecological sensitivity evaluation [35], energy site selection evaluation [36], and safety evaluation [37]. Thus, AHP models could be used in determining the weights of factors in the process of land suitability evaluation.…”

“…One of the methods in DSS is Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM). Among several techniques in MCDM, the Technique for Order Preference by Similarly to Ideal Solution (TOPSIS) is one of the techniques with simple computation [16]. Topsis is a technique that chooses alternatives based on the closest distance vector from the positive ideal solution and the furthest from the negative ideal solution [17].…”
