“…Encouraging all staff members to participate in the risk assessment process will help it accomplish its goals and boost output. In the mining industry, identifying and evaluating present risks are becoming more and more crucial to risk assessment procedures (Samantra et al 2017 ; Mutlu and Kalkan 2023 ). One of the most crucial phases of the occupational health and safety management system is risk assessment.…”

The structure of underground coal mines is vulnerable to many mishaps because of the challenging conditions of production and the unique features of the earth. These incidents could cause significant financial and production losses for the mines in addition to worker injury, disability, or death. In coal mines, methane explosions are a frequent threat. Establishing a safe work environment requires managing these problems with an accident control method. The current study used the fuzzy TOPSIS and fuzzy AHP techniques for this aim. The framework was used to tackle the four-alternative problem of underground coal mine explosion control method selection. To identify potential risks of a methane explosion, a data gathering survey was conducted as part of the suggested hybrid methodology. The fuzzy AHP was used to compute the fuzzy weights of the hazards. “Improper ventilation system” is ranked highest out of the 34 sub-risk factors. The fuzzy TOPSIS was then utilized to rank the explosion control methods using the weights. To assess the viability of the study’s conclusions, a sensitivity analysis was carried out. The findings indicate that “improving safety technology” and “financial investments” are the best ways to reduce such events. The results additionally indicate that the fuzzy TOPSIS approach in combination with the fuzzy AHP provides a helpful framework for dynamically assessing mine methane explosion accidents.

Noise causes many negative effects both in our daily life and working life, reduces our quality of life, and affects our mental health directly or indirectly. The most common consequence of noise exposure is especially permanent hearing loss called noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL). NIHL is very prevalent in almost every stage of the mining industry. Therefore, the assessment of noise levels of mining operations and the estimation of NIHLs of employees is an important issue to prevent and minimize them. This study is aimed to the modeling of NIHL prediction at a quarry located in Aksaray, Turkey. Initially, noise levels were measured with a sound level meter for employees working in different positions for the quarry, and daily exposure levels (Lex,8h) were determined. Audiometry tests were also performed on all employees and NIHLs were evaluated and determined by an audiometrist. According to the results, 5 employees had NIHL in this enterprise. A fuzzy inference system (FIS)-based NIHL estimating model implemented on fuzzy logic using the Sugeno inference mechanism was developed. The model predicts NIHLs for given occupation, age, experience, and Lex,8h parameters. To determine the accurate prediction ability of the model, field noise measurements and audiometry test results data were used. The obtained results indicated that the model has accurate a prediction ability with a 94% success rate. This study proposes a method with high predictive ability using fuzzy sets theory, and will be a guide for the top management in considering the damage effects of noise in enterprises.
