FatihGuneri, Ali FuatOccupational hazardsPythagorean fuzzy setsRisk assessmentUnderground copper and zinc mineVIKORIntroduction: Underground mining is considered one of the most hazardous industries and is often associated with serious work-related fatalities; this paper addresses job-related hazards and associated risks. Method: A risk assessment approach is proposed (Pythagorean fuzzy environment) and a case study is carried out in an underground copper and zinc mine. Results: Results of the study demonstrate that hazards can be categorized into different risk levels via compromised solutions of the fuzzy approach. Conclusion: The study provides a theoretical contribution by suggesting a Pythagorean fuzzy numbers-based VlseKriterijumska Optimizacija I Kompromisno Resenje (PFVIKOR) approach. Moreover, it contributes to improving overall safety levels of underground mining by considering and advising on the potential hazards of risk management. Practical applications: The proposed approach will improve the existing safety risk assessment mechanism in underground copper and zinc mining.Elsevier Ltd2019Articlehttps://rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/r/munzur/3105https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jsr.2019.03.0050022-4375enJournal of Safety Researchinfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessinfo:eu-repo/semantics/articlehttps://munzur-rdlopen.rawdatalibrary.net/tr/items/munzur/3105
