An Application of Failure Mode and Effect Analysis on Improving Occupational Health and Safety Process of Marble Factories
Journal Title: International Journal of Natural Disasters & Health Security (IJNHS) - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1
Abstract
Marble excavation and processing are the most risky endeavors of the mining industry. Many precautions are taken to determine or prevent occupational accidents. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a risk assessment tool that can be easily applied to an occupational health and safety (OHS)-based improvement process. In this paper, marble processing techniques and failure mode effect analysis method were summarized, and a case study was performed in the marble processing plants of Afyonkarahisar, Turkey. The study tried to eliminate or improve primary risks by preparing an improvement program. The theoretical improvement was realized as 50.08% for the first period.
