Keywords:
safety management, prioritization, analytic hierarchy processAbstract
The objectives of this research were: (1) to study the factors affecting the safety management efficiency of employees’ work at Chiang Mai International Airport; and (2) to study the ranking factors affecting the safety management efficiency of employees’ work at Chiang Mai International Airport. This research consists of 10 experts in occupational health and safety selected by purposive random sampling. The information was then gathered using questionnaires and statistically analyzed. The data analysis included descriptive statistics and the Analytic Hierarchy Process--AHP. The research results showed that: (1) factors affecting the safety management efficiency of employees’ work at Chiang Mai International Airport consisted of management commitment and strength to safety; training; communication; working environment management; safety policy and safety management; safety of priority; and (2) the top 3 factors affecting the safety management efficiency of employees’ work at Chiang Mai International Airport consist of (1) management commitment and strength to safety (0.255) (2) education (0.199) and (3) communication (0.142)
