Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) management significantly affects reducing costs, increasing productivity, and social credibility of construction companies and plays a facilitating role in the transition towards sustainable development. This study aims to identify and quantitatively analyze OHS risks in sustainable construction projects in Iran. To do this, first, common OHS risks are identified by conducting library studies. Then, these risks are screened and localized for Irans' sustainable construction projects by surveying 13 experts, selected by snowball sampling method, in a focus group meeting. Afterward, each risk's importance and priority are determined using the Neutrosophic Group Best-Worst Multi-criteria (NGBWM) method, while applying a weight to each expert's opinion. The Neutrosophic sets theory provides the basis for obtaining accurate and more reliable results by considering the uncertainties in the experts' opinions. The findings showed that "the lack of sufficient safety skills of employees due to not allocating time to specialized safety training", "occupational injuries and diseases", "hazards caused by improper design and layout of the project site", "Weakness and inefficiency of occupational health and safety management personnel", and "Negligence and lack of planning for emergency maneuvers", with weights of 0.052, 0.036, 0.035, 0.032 and 0.028 are respectively as the most critical OHS risks in Iran's sustainable construction projects. Finally, reactive and preventive responses were proposed to face them in detail.

Petrochemical industry is one of the leading industries in the field of oil and gas in the country, which has a significant role in completing the chains of value creation in this field. Today, given the fact that sustainable development and, consequently, sustainable adaptation in supply chain management have become a social demand, the development of the petrochemical industry in the country and the penetration of global markets require the adaptation of sustainable development approaches in this industry. The purpose of this study is to identify, assess and analyze enablers that facilitates the achievement of sustainable development goals in the petrochemical supply chain. In order to achieve the research objectives, first by using Meta-Synthesis Method, the previous studies in the field of sustainable supply chain management investigated and the main factors and components that enable sustainable supply chain management have identified. Then, according to the Graph Theory and Matrix Approach (GTMA), the Supply chain management enablers have been analyzed. Based on the research findings, sustainable supply chain management enablers in the petrochemical industry was divided into components related to corporate governance, supply chain management, continuity of supply chain, supply chain characteristics, partnership in supply chain, and employees. The components related to continuity of the supply chain were the first priorities of planning in the petrochemical industry.

Economic Development of countries caused damages in environment and society. This issue created three dimensional concept for development, based on economy, society and environment that named as a sustainable development. Mining industry is one of the industries that always faced with challenges of sustainable development. Based on this issue and based on need for evaluation tools in sustainable development, this article is specified to recommending suitable tool for evaluating sustainability of development in mining industry. For this purpose after investigation of literature, balance scorecard recognized as a suitable tool, then international indicators are localized based on the expert opinion and Iran mining industry situation, and put in BSC aspects. Finally by using AHP method importance weight of BSC aspects and indicators calculated for recommending quantitative tool to mining industry organizations
