The industry also suffers from high accident rates, which results in absenteeism, loss of productivity, permanent disability, and even fatalities. The aim of this research is to suggest an efficient assessment criteria of occupational health and safety management (OHSM) practices which take into the complexity of the iron and steel industry. Indeed, there are several methods used in process management assessment but unfortunately, does not hold the interaction that can exist between the health and safety risks management process and the complexity of iron and steel industry. To remedy this disadvantage, this study proposed reducing the number of indicators down to several or major indicators.
