Özet

With the increase in the number of occupational accidents in coal mines in recent years, comprehensive research on OHS performance evaluation of mines have started to be needed.  It is very important to determine the correct measurement criteria in the performance evaluation process.     In this study, performance measurement criteria were determined by reviewing the literature and interviewing experts and managers in the mining sector.  In the next step, the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP), a multi-criteria decision-making (MCDM) method, was used to determine the significance levels of these criteria and a new performance index model was developed.   The proposed method consists of six main criteria (employee errors, registration deficiencies, management-induced, equipment errors, work accidents that occur, protective measures) and a total of 42 criteria, including 36 sub-criteria. As far as we know, this study is the first to propose a model for measuring the performance of coal mines.
