由于世界各地每年都发生死亡和灾害，对地下煤矿工作人员的健康和安全的审查得到了加强。提出了一种基于模糊TOPSIS的方法来评估与人类健康相关的风险，以管理控制措施并支持决策，这可以在安全和成本等不同问题之间提供正确的平衡。为此，从位于伊朗克尔曼煤矿存款的三个危险煤矿（即Hashouni、Hojedk和Babnizu）收集的信息被用于管理影响矿工健康和安全的风险。共确定了86种危害，并将其分为八类：地质力学、地球化学、电气、机械、化学、环境、个人以及社会、文化和管理风险。通过模糊TOPSIS法来克服定性数据的不确定性，实现了排序过程.模型运行后，得到12个不同风险的组。位于第一组，最重要的风险和最大的负面影响是：材料掉落，灾难性故障，采煤工作面和直接顶板不稳定，沼气爆炸，瓦斯涌出，失火，通风系统停止，倾斜时车厢分离，窒息，培训不足和现场管理系统差。根据结果，所提出的方法可以是一个可靠的技术管理的威胁性危害和应对不确定性影响矿工的健康和安全时，性能评级是不精确的。所提出的模型可以主要用于识别潜在的危险，并帮助采取适当的措施，以尽量减少或消除事故发生前的风险。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
The scrutiny of health and safety of personnel working in underground coal mines is heightened because of fatalities and disasters that occur every year worldwide. A methodology based on fuzzy TOPSIS was proposed to assess the risks associated with human health in order to manage control measures and support decisionmaking, which could provide the right balance between different concerns, such as safety and costs. For this purpose, information collected from three hazardous coal mines namely Hashouni, Hojedk and Babnizu located at the Kerman coal deposit, Iran, were used to manage the risks affecting the health and safety of their miners. Altogether 86 hazards were identified and classified under eight categories: geomechanical, geochemical, electrical, mechanical, chemical, environmental, personal, and social, cultural and managerial risks. Overcoming the uncertainty of qualitative data, the ranking process is accomplished by fuzzy TOPSIS. After running the model, twelve groups with different risks were obtained. Located in the first group, the most important risks with the highest negative effects are: materials falling, catastrophic failure, instability of coalface and immediate roof, firedamp explosion, gas emission, misfire, stopping of ventilation system, wagon separation at inclines, asphyxiation, inadequate training and poor site management system. According to the results, the proposed methodology can be a reliable technique for management of the minatory hazards and coping with uncertainties affecting the health and safety of miners when performance ratings are imprecise. The proposed model can be primarily designed to identify potential hazards and help in taking appropriate measures to minimize or remove the risks before accidents can occur. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.
