Özet

A risk assessment method provides the definition of the risks that may be encountered in a laboratory. In order to take safety precautions regarding the in environmental research laboratories, risk assessment studies using Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fine-Kinney Method (FKM) were carried out in this study. The environmental research laboratories were selected for the occupational health and safety assessment studies which analyze environmental samples such as wastewater, biological sludge, soil/sediment, and solid waste. Potential risks, accident rates and damages that may arise in an environmental research laboratory could be minimized with the occupational health and safety precautions decided to be taken in the light of this modeling study. Finally, the cost of the safety precautions to be taken on the basis of each risk was calculated according to the used models (AHP and FKM) in environmental research laboratories and determined approximately as 10,000.00 EUR in this study.
