Using the WASPAS and SA Techniques to Analyze Risks in a Noisy Environment Qualitatively—A Case Study of Different Manufacturing Industries Near Bhubaneswar

Noise is a critical environmental element that affects people's health because it affects their effectiveness, efficiency, and vulnerability to physical and psychological risks. Risks not considered during the planning stage could have significant consequences later in the project life cycle. Therefore, assessing health risks in the industry is a crucial part of workers’ health and company growth. Therefore, the goal of this case study is to determine how loud noise influences how work is performed in the industry. For this goal, Simulation annealing (SA) was used. Moreover, the weighted aggregated sum product assessment (WASPAS) approach was applied to determine the risk created when working in a noisy environment. After analyzing the risk using the WASPAS method, sleeping was one of the biggest health concerns among all these threats. Many internal problems may develop if someone does not sleep enough at night. Another significant difficulty is high blood pressure, the second worst danger. In addition, the health issues of laborers during machining have been investigated using a proposed model to predict the connection limits through simulated annealing via MATLAB. These limits include vibrations, sound pressure, and temperature. When the risks to human health were compared, it was discovered that the inside room's human health impact was more significant than that of the outside room. Hearing conservation measures should be organized in a noisy environment. This study suggests that the WASPAS approach is more accurate than the multicriteria decision-making (MCDM) methodology for evaluating hazards in real-world settings and the SA method for evaluating the effects of noise on human health.
