This paper presents the factors, performance, and indicators of occupational safety, as well as a method to select and rank occupational safety indicators based on the expert evaluation method and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). A case study is done on road construction companies in Serbia. The key safety performance indicators for the road construction industry are identified and ranked according to the results of a survey that included experts who assessed occupational safety risks in these companies. The case study confirmed that organisational factors have a dominant effect on the quality of the occupational health and safety management system in Serbian road construction companies. OPSOMMINGHierdie artikel toon die faktore, prestasies en aanwysers van beroepsveiligheid en 'n metode om beroepsveiligheid aanwysers te kies en te rangskik. Die rangskikking van beroepsveiligheid aanwysers is gegrond op die deskundige evaluasie metode en die wasige analitiese hiërargie proses. 'n Gevalle studie is geloods op padkonstruksie maatskappye in Serwië. Die sleutel veiligheidsprestasieaanwysers is geïdentifiseer en rangskik volgens die resultate van 'n opname onder deskundiges wat die beroepsveiligheid risiko's in hierdie maatskappye assesseer. Die gevalle studie het bevestig dat organisatoriesefaktore 'n daadwerklike effek op die gehalte van die beroepsveiligheid bestuurstelsel in Serwiese padkonstruksie maatskappye het.

“…Several research papers have presented and discussed the different categorizations, developments, and uses of indicators in different industries [16][17][18]34,35]. Øien, Utne et al (2011) proposes to distinguish between the terms risk indicator and safety indicator; when indicators are identified based on risk-based models, the indicators are called risk indicators.…”

Abstract:The fish farming industry is one of the industries in Norway with the highest occupational fatality and injury rate. Despite the serious health, safety, and environmental issues in the industry, little is done to measure changes in safety over time beyond the traditional Lost Time Injury (LTI) registrations. In this article the objective is twofold; (i) to propose a framework for developing safety indicators based on Systems-Theoretic Process Analysis (STPA), and (ii) to apply the framework to find indicators relevant for hazards in operations where subcontractors participate. STPA uses a hierarchical portrayal of the system in focus, in contrast to sequential models, and views safety as a control problem. It is believed that a systemic approach to indicator development better captures the complex safety challenges in aquaculture. Thirteen indicators are identified within areas such as maintenance, training, and planning. The indicators identified may function as a basis for decisions and actions that must be undertaken to ensure safe operations.
