Differences in perception of the importance of process safety indicators between experts in Iran and the West

Development of Process Safety Cumulative Risk Assessment and Visualization Model/Framework for Petroleum Facilities in Niger-Delta Region, Nigeria

“…It was also noted that there were often insufficient measures to recognize the barrier impairments and prevent the propagation of the incidents [10]. Risks arising from a single safety critical impairment is usually understood but with multiple barrier impairments on a plant, it is essential to understand the changing overall risk profile of the plant, from a "cumulative risk" perspective [11] and have a means to provide the assurance that major hazard risks are adequately controlled [12]. Therefore, the aim of this study is to develop a model/framework for assessment of process safety cumulative risk, to reduce major accident risk in petroleum operations by offering petroleum industries a risk-based approach to understanding and managing safety critical deviations and using risk-based decision making to better prioritize plant maintenance, optimize work execution and improve productivity.…”

An MCDM approach to assessing influential factors on healthcare providers’ safe performance during the COVID-19 pandemic: Probing into demographic variables

“…Previous studies used appropriate techniques, such as multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) approaches, to compute the weights (importance) of factors influencing safety in high-risk sectors [48] . The entropy method, which is an MCDM approach, is a common weighting approach used to obtain the weights of different criteria [49] .…”
