Abstract

This chapter aims at the adaptation of the Fine–Kinney occupational risk assessment concept into the VIKOR multi-attribute decision-making method with an interval-valued Pythagorean fuzzy set. The classical fuzzy set theory has been improved by proposing a number of extended versions. One of them is the Pythagorean fuzzy set. It has been firstly developed by Yager (IEEE Transactions on Fuzzy Systems 22:958–965, [1]). In this chapter, we use this type of fuzzy set with VIKOR since it reflects uncertainty in occupational risk assessment and decision-making better than other fuzzy extensions. To demonstrate the proposed approach applicability, a case study regarding the activities of the surface treatment area in a chrome plating unit of a gun factory is performed. Some additional analysis to test the solidity and validity of the approach is executed. Finally, the Python codes in the implementation of the proposed approach are given for scholars and practitioners for usage in further studies.
