Abstract

With the rapid development of urbanization and industrialization, water resources are in increasingly short supply, and the construction of sewage treatment plants can ensure the sustainable development of water resources. To eliminate the potential safety hazards of municipal sewage treatment plants and prevent safety accidents from the source, this paper takes a municipal sewage treatment plant in Changchun as the research object, puts forward the evaluation method of the “improved Best-Worst Method (BWM)—fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method”, and carries out safety evaluation research on the research object. Firstly, combined with the technological process of sewage treatment plants, the evaluation index system is constructed from four factors: human factors, material factors, environmental factors, and management factors. Secondly, the improved BWM is used to calculate the weights. Finally, the fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is used for safety evaluation, and the evaluation of safety status is obtained: the safety level.
