| description | Identification and risk assessment of hazards using classic methods have various flaws, such as ambiguity and uncertainty in the data, inability to correctly reflect the human thinking style, failure to assign weight to criteria, use of predetermined data and tables, and the evaluator's role in the results of the risk assessment process. Therefore, developing these methods and creating approaches with higher accuracy and sensitivity is necessary. This study utilized a developed method that integrated SWARA's weighting methods and ARAS prioritization using Fine-Kinney criteria in a fuzzy environment to evaluate the risks of the firefighting job. The sensitivity analysis results confirmed the accuracy and applicability of the proposed method. Based on the study's results, the inhalation of harmful gases and smoke (R3) was identified as the most critical risk, while concern about the optimal operation (R21) was considered the least dangerous risk in firefighting. |
