Port operations are one of the most high risk activity that has high potential of creating
accidents to both human and property as well. For effective risk mitigation, an insight
into the process of risk escalation is needed which is safety risk assessment. As for
the scope of research, Penang Port are chosen as it has many risk because of its
scattered locations, multiple operations, environmental effect, etc. This research is
aimed to conduct safety risk assessment at Penang Port that can be used for
minimising work accidents at the port and to recommend a risk control option for the
port. The methodology of data analysis used for this research is Fuzzy Analytical
Hierarchy Process (FAHP). The benefit of this research is it can help the port operators
to identify risk available and effective risk control options can be made.
Keywords – Safety risk assessment, port operations, Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy
