Abstract

In contemporary workplaces, organizational safety is not just a regulatory obligation but a critical determinant of sustainable success. With the evolving technological advancements in industries, understanding the factors that influence occupational safety becomes paramount. This study examines the multifaceted structure of occupational safety criteria, recognizing its importance in ensuring not only the physical well-being of workers but also the organizational resilience. Utilizing the Interval-Valued Picture Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (IVPF-AHP) method, this research aims to prioritize the most crucial factors influencing safety performance. Through a comprehensive analysis of 20 sub-criteria under five main categories — Organization, Safety Climate, Regulatory Characteristics, Workplace Environment, and Individual Characteristics — the study reveals insights into the nuanced interplay of organizational, managerial, and individual factors that shape safety outcomes. The findings underscore the prominence of factors such as Workload Pressure, Management and Supervisor Commitment to Safety, Sanctions and Auditing, Number of Subcontractors, and Equipment Conditions in enhancing safety performance.
