Abstract

Due to the high flammability of materials used at all stages of the textile industry, fires are frequently observed in textile-based businesses. A factory fire can cause significant financial losses and may even lead to loss of life. Therefore, this study examines textile fires. Specifically fire risks encountered in cotton yarn manufacturing businesses were investigate and a Risk Priority Number (RPN) based risk analysis was conducted. The causes of fire incidents in workplaces and the resulting risks were examined. The stages of a fire initial, steady-state, and hot smoke were analyzed using the fuzzy FMEA method to assess control management. The study concluded that the danger of flame tongues, toxic gases in the smoke, and the risk of spreading during the initial phase are highly critical. The scale used in traditional FMEA is based on absolute values, and the lack of historical data presents challenges for occupational safety professionals conducting risk analyses. Fuzzy logic can provide more realistic results without relying on absolute values.

Tekstil Sektöründe Bulanık HTEA ile Yangın Güvenliği Risk Analizi

Abstract

Tekstil sektöründe tüm aşamalarda kullanılan malzemelerin yanıcılık yükünün yüksek olması nedeniyle tekstil faaliyetleri üzerine kurulu işletmelerde yangın vakaları sıkça gözlenmektedir. Bir fabrika yangını, önemli miktarda maddi kayıplara ve o fabrikada yaşamların son bulmasına neden olmaktadır. Bu nedenle araştırmada tekstil yangınları üzerine bir inceleme yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, pamuk ipliği üretimi gerçekleştiren işletmelerde karşılaşılan yangın riskleri incelenmiştir ve Risk Öncelik Numarası (RPN) risk analizi oluşturulmuştur. İşyerlerinde meydana gelen yangın olaylarının sebepleri ile çalışma sonucunda elde edilen riskler incelenmiştir. Yangının safhaları başlangıç, denge ve sıcak tütme bulanık HTEA yöntemi ile analiz edilerek kontrol yönetiminin sağlanması açısından değerlendirmeler yapılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonucunda yangının başlangıç safhasında alev dili tehlikesi, dumandaki zehirli gazlar ve yayılma tehlikesi yangında oldukça riskli bulunmuştur. Klasik FMEA’da kullanılan ölçek, mutlak değerlere bağlıdır ve geçmiş verilerin eksikliği, risk analizleri yapan iş güvenliği uzmanları için zorluklara yol açar, bulanık mantık mutlak değerler kullanmadan daha gerçekçi sonuçlar sağlayabilir.
