AHP-based methodology for selecting safety devices of industrial machinery
TL;DR: In this paper, a systematic methodology for selecting safety measures aimed at reducing mechanical hazards of industrial machinery is presented, which at first includes a classification of mechanical hazards and applicable safety devices, then introduces an exhaustive list of 15 factors useful to judge the suitability of safety devices for comparison purposes.
