It is essential to identify the critical success factors due to their direct effects on the establishment of safety programs. These factors should also be prioritized to facilitate the establishment of process safety management (PSM) system in process industries. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) was employed in this study to weight the critical success factors in implementing and executing safety programs for establishing a process safety management system. For this purpose, a few prominent process safety management models were reviewed, and the critical success factors of safety programs establishment were extracted. After that, a questionnaire was developed and distributed among the experts. The fuzzy analytic hierarchy process was then adopted to calculate the weights of factors for prioritization. This study aimed to determine the most effective factors in implementing and improving process safety management systems in process industries. Other factors will be effected in establishing process safety management in subsequent priorities, one after another.
