Abstract:
Evaluation of personal protective equipment is a very demanding task in designing an effective workplace safety programme. There is variable equipment to prevent job accidents, to protect workers' health and safety and to minimize the damage of any possible accident. Comparing the alternatives for the most favourable equipment, e.g. possible high noise levels, is one of the most difficult issues to deal with. In this study, the analytic hierarchy process method allows selection of personal protective equipment analytically, which is used to decide on efficient personal protection equipment when choosing protective shoes, helmets, earmuffs and dust masks.
