At the last part of this study a comparison among three companies is done by using ANP (Analytic network process) method which is done via super decision software to find the best company regarding to the criteria and metrics of safety which were already determined and also finding the priority of metrics regarding to each other, which can contribute to assess companies more effectively. The future work recommends that such a study can be developed by categorizing the companies based on their field of activities, in order to find the specialized safety factors related to their field and products, which can be used simultaneously with general factors. 2013 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/42244/ http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:72861?site_name=Restricted Repository masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Mechanical Engineering Faculty of Mechanical Engineering
