Abstract :
Introduction: Oil and gas industry with respect to the quality and quantity of raw materials,intermediate and final products, as well as having three properties of high complexity , low flexibilityand high vulnerability are critical industries and occurrence of an event in aspects of human,environmental and economic can be disaster. The overall benefits of this research could be defined asassessing the HSE performance quantitatively based on the multi attributes decision making method inorder to create a motivation for different gas companies to make them improve themselves.Material and method: This work started with observing the processes of the sites of 4 groups ofcompanies in the Iran National Gas Company namely: Provincial Gas, Development & Engineering,Gas Distribution and Refinery, gathering and classifying the effective parameters on HSEmanagement system along with hard-work parameters too. Then the data was analyzed with TOPSISmethod.Results: Analyzing gathered data and indexes by TOPSIS was resulted to ranking the studiedcompanies as follow: with the final score of 0.74, 0.55, 0.40 and 0.19 from 1 respectively.Conclusion: In this study to compare the performance of the gas companies, 29 indicators (23 HSEindicators, and 6 indicators of hard work) were developed and TOPSIS method were used to rankmentioned companies.
