Abstract

The metal products industry, including the aluminum extrusion industry, is one of the sectors with high risk in terms of occupational health and safety (OHS). Considering this fact and the increasing trend of occupational accidents in the sector, the need to enhance occupational safety becomes clear. Therefore, this study proposes a quantitative occupational risk assessment by a sorting-based technique for order performance by similarity to ideal solution (TOPSIS-Sort) methodology to manage risks in the aluminum extrusion industry. The methodology has been demonstrated by evaluating 28 potential hazards under three risk parameters (probability, severity and frequency). The assessed hazards are divided into five risk clusters (Very high risk, High risk, Substantial risk, Possible risk, and Risk) and control measures that will initiate the reduction of risks have been determined. Results of the study show that while one hazard has been placed in the Very high risk cluster, 3 in the High risk cluster, 23 in the Substantial risk cluster and one in the Possible risk cluster.

Özet

Alüminyum ekstrüzyon üretimini de kapsayan metal ürünleri sektörü, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği (İSG) açısından yüksek risk taşıyan sektörlerden biridir. Bu durum ve sektördeki iş kazalarının artış eğilimi göz önüne alındığında, iş güvenliğinin artırılması ihtiyacı ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bu nedenle, bu çalışma, alüminyum ekstrüzyon endüstrisindeki riskleri yönetmek için kümeleme temelli bir TOPSIS yaklaşımı (TOPSIS-Sort) ile nicel bir mesleki risk değerlendirmesi önermektedir. Metodolojinin uygulanabilirliği, 28 potansiyel tehlikenin üç risk parametresi (olasılık, ciddiyet ve sıklık) altında değerlendirilmesiyle gösterilmiştir. Değerlendirilen tehlikeler beş risk kümesine (Çok yüksek risk, Yüksek risk, Önemli risk, Olası risk ve Risk) bölünmüş ve risklerin azaltılmasını sağlayacak kontrol önlemleri belirlenmiştir. Çalışmanın sonuçları, Çok yüksek risk kümesine bir tehlikenin, Yüksek risk kümesine 3, Önemli risk kümesine 23 ve Olası risk kümesine bir tehlike atandığını göstermektedir.
