The energy sources required for general development and maintenance cause environmental pollution due to the carbon emissions released into the atmosphere. For these reasons, countries have turned to renewable energy sources. Energy production methods also cause serious problems in terms of the health and safety of employees. This study aimed to create an occupational health and safety performance model in geothermal energy fields, which generate renewable energy sources, using multi-criteria decision-making methods. A two-stage model was created for OHS performance index measurement. In the first stage, a literature screening was performed, risk analysis criteria were examined, and performance measurement criteria were determined with geophysical engineers and OHS experts. Seven main criteria and forty-seven subcriteria were set. An analytical hierarchy process method (AHP) and a fuzzy analytical hierarchy process (F-AHP) using the main criteria and subcriteria were determined. In the second stage, exposure rates were obtained using the Promethee method in three geothermal wells. The risks in these three wells are listed according to their importance. A performance model was created. The Results section includes conclusions and suggestions. This study, by creating an OHS performance model, can be used by managers and OHS professionals working in geothermal energy production fields to solve problems.
