“…More specifically, [8], based on the literature's examination, determined the dominant RAA methods, and categorized them into three principal classes, i.e., the qualitative, the quantitative, and the hybrid (semi-quantitative or qualitative-quantitative) methods, wherein the first ones are grounded mainly on the safety-managers' capability, the second ones express the risk by a mathematical relation in conjunction with real accident data recorded in a workplace, and finally, the third ones are characterized by a high complexity due to their ad-hoc feature. A plethora of other works confirm the results of this study, and also the importance of its classification, like the articles of (i) da Costa et al (2020) [18], Gul and Celik (2018) [19], AriamuthuVenkidasalapathy et al (2018) [20], Ozkan and Uluta (2017) [21] (for quantitative RAA), (ii) Athar et al (2019) [22], Sanmiquel-Pera et al (2019) [23], Domínguez et al (2019) [24] (for qualitative RAA), and (iii) Kharzi et al (2020) [25], Cinar and Cebi (2020) [26], Mutlu et al (2019) [27], Bora et al, (2019) [28], Kamsu-Foguem and Tiako (2017) [29], Zheng et al (2017) [30], Mentes and Ozen (2015) [31] (for hybrid RAA).…”

This study, on the one hand, develops a newfangled risk assessment and analysis (RAA) methodological approach (the MCDM-STO/DET one) for sustainable engineering projects by the amalgamation of a multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) process with the joint-collaboration of a deterministic (DET) and a stochastic (STO) process. On the other hand, proceeds to the application of MCDM-STO/DET at the workplaces of the Greek construction sector and also of the fixed-telecommunications technical projects of OTE SA (that is, the Greek Telecommunications Organization S.A.) by means of real accident data coming from two official State databases, namely of “SEPE” (Labor Inspectorate, Hellenic Ministry of Employment) and of “IKA” (Social Insurance Institution, Hellenic Ministry of Health), all the way through the period of the years2009–2016.Consequently, the article’s objectives are the following: (i) The implementation and execution of the joint MCDM-STO/DET framework, and (ii) to make known that the proposed MCDM-STO/DET algorithm can be a precious method for safety managers (and/or decision-makers) to ameliorate occupational safety and health (OSH) and to endorse the sustainable operation of technical or engineering projects as well. Mainly, we mingle two different configurations of the MCDM method, initially the Analytical Hierarchy-Process (the typical-AHP), and afterwards the Fuzzy-Extended AHP (the FEAHP) one, along with the Proportional Risk Assessment Technique (PRAT) and the analysis of Time-Series Processes (TSP), and finally with the Fault-Tree Analysis (FTA).

“…They structured an experiment in MATLAB in order to rank workstations according to their ergonomic risk levels. In another study, Bora et al (2019) use an automated neural network search (ANS) approach for REBA and RULA integrated prediction system that is proposed for industrial vehicle drivers. They use CATIA software with other techniques to analyze the posture parameters of subjects and make a conclusion about the risk levels of the tasks.…”

“…In the first, Balaji and Alphin [88] took photographs of operators who handled industrial excavators, observing that 46% of workers were exposed to high levels of danger; this resulted in the tasks being optimized and redesigned. In the second, Bora et al [89] evaluated posture parameters in industrial vehicles using CATIA software.…”

The objective of this work is to review literature, worldwide, in which the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) ergonomic assessment method was applied and count the number of times that REBA was applied together with other methods and subsequent incidence. The database used was the “Web of Science—Core Collection”. Only scientific articles and bibliographic reviews were included, analysing a total of 314 documents and selecting only 91. The use of the REBA method is indicated in terms of knowledge, country, year and journal sectors. It was most used in the knowledge areas of “Manufacturing” (24.18%), “Agriculture, forestry and fishing” (21.98%) and in “Other activities” (19.78%). One of the benefits of REBA is that it evaluates different body parts: upper limbs (arm, forearm and wrist), lower extremities, trunk and neck. It is a useful method to identify the forced postures adopted by workers to thus develop improvement measures if necessary. It is concluded that REBA method use has increased over the last decade, probably due to the digitization of knowledge. It is almost always applied in combination with other methods, and its use can be a positive indicator of company sustainability.
