Abstract

This study developed a occupational risk assessment indicators system of power grid enterprise, including 5 first-level indicators, a total of 24 secondary indicators. 5 first-level indicators are as the list: Dust Factors, Physical Factors, Chemical Factors, Behavior Factors and Protective Measures Factors. After two rounds of experts’ consultation, the positive coefficient of experts were 95% and 100% respectively. The authority of experts coefficient was 0.90 on average. All experts coordination coefficient of two dimensions (significance and operability) range from 0.1379 to 0.8118, which is in statistically significance (P < 0.05). It indicated that there were well performance and high coordination on the evaluation for the indicators system. Afterwards, calculating the relative weight of each secondary indicators by AHP, according to the combined weights of the secondary indicators, the sequence of the first level indicators is as follows: Behavioral Factors, Dust Factors, Chemical Factors, Protective Factors, Physical Factors; The sequence of the Dust Factors, Physical Factors, Chemical Factors Behavioral Factors, and Protective measures factor were ranked.
