Abstract :

Background and Objective: Industrial and development activities are parts of the human attempt to achieve greater prosperity. But the effects of these changes and develop this kind of activity due to specific risks arising from changes in prevalent system of nature. Working staff in the agricultural sector of this company at different levels, according to a variety of activities that can be done, are exposed to health and safety risks. This research has been done in order to identify safety, health and environmental aspects and important risks of Salman Farsi Agroindustry Company in 2014. Method: In this study Delphi, FMEA and FMEA & TOPSIS Integrated models are used. Findings: According to Delphi method 57 aspects and risks related to the activities of this industry identified and 13 of them were diagnosed significantly. Risk of exposure to noise with identification code R1 obtain the highest score and transport the heavy parts with identification cod R44 obtain the lowest score respectively. According to the FMEA method, 57 aspects and risks identified based on industry activities and 21 of them became intolerable and clear, as input data to the weighting stage and grading were used combined method TOPSIS and FEMEA. According to this method environmental aspects of waste entering to the environment with identification cod R57 obtained the highest score and falling the centrifuges basket with identification cod R18 obtained the lowest score. Discussion and Conclusion: Establish and implement integrated management systems that can be qualified as a practical proposal affecting elimination or reduction of risk in industrial sector of Salman Farsi agro-industrial Company.
