Conclusions and recommendations The working of paint mixers in the chemical manufacturing sector involves inherent safety and operational hazards - equipments malfunction, human errors in mixing and some variance in the process parameters. To advance safety management and operation effectiveness in such high-risk environments, this research project sought to design the integrated risk assessment model by integrating HAZOP analysis with MCDM tools that include AHP, TOPSIS and Fuzzy Logic. The first aim was to produce a shift towards a more systematic, objective and ‘unguardable’ framework to guide the identification of hazards and their risk evaluation. This was in the context of a project conducted within the Al Basma Paints & Chemicals Factory: The first part of the project was focused on a vigorous HAZOP analysis of the paint mixing process as well as risk analysis and risk assessment carried out based on a number of risk factors utilizing AHP. Then, a ranking of the safety measures based on the effectiveness was computed using TOPSIS, while, Fuzzy Logic was used to incorporate the uncertainties of the expert judgment.
