Abstract :
The code of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) is an important regulation to improve the on-the-job safety of employees. Several factors affect the planning and implementation of OHS management systems (OHSMS). The evaluation of OHS practice is the most important component when building a safety environment policy for employees and administration. Begin aware of subjective nature of factors affecting OHS and the use of statistical method, it becomes controversial as to a way of handling this type of survey data. This research presents a combination of possibilistic regression analysis with a convex hull approach to analyze the fitting factors that impact good practices of OHS. In addition, selected samples of data could be represented as fuzzy sets. This study offers an alternative platform to evaluate influential factors being used towards a successful implementation of the OHS policy.
