Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation of Safety Culture in Coal Mining Enterprises

Abstract:

Evaluating safety culture of coal mining enterprises can promote effectively their safety management. This paper introduces an improved fuzzy comprehensive evaluation model specially designed for the safety culture evaluation of coal mining enterprises. Evaluation index system which is comprised of 4 first-layer indexes and 15 second-layer indexes is established based on ANP, and then the weights of indexes are calculated by Super Decisions software. The FCE model for safety culture of coal mining enterprises is built to assess accurately the safety culture of coal mining enterprise S based on the indexes system. The evaluation results indicate that the evaluative value of enterprises S is “71.979”, which stays in the “generally good” level. Thus, enterprises S should implement timely rectification measures to reach the “better” or “very good” level. The method of fuzzy comprehensive evaluation is a practical and efficient way to assess safety culture of coal mining enterprises.
