with rapid economic development and industrialization, the construction industry continues to rank among the most hazardous industries in the world. therefore, construction safety is always a significant concern for both practitioners and researchers. the objective of this study was to create a structural modeling of components that influence the safety performance in construction projects.we f...

Construction industry has the highest ratio of fatality of workers in comparison with other industries. Construction safety has been always a matter of focus to control safety risks. This article presents a new flexible method of safety risk assessment by adding Hybrid Value Number (HVN) to the assessment equation. As a result of using this method, the results of assessment process will be more...

objectives: behavioral-based safety is a term used to describe the prevention of accidents, injuries and loss in the workplace. an effective behavior-based safety program relies on engaging employees to understand how unsafe behaviors lead to injuries and how to eliminate them from the workplace. this paper examines behavior-based safety program in a massive construction site. methods: for this...

background: in spite of science and technology developments and their application in different industries, accidents occur in many work environments. thus, this study was conducted in order to investigate factors affecting constructional accidents. materials and methods: in this descriptive study, all workers who were injured in building construction during 2009-2010 and were registered in the ...

Introduction: Safety and health risk assessment in industries is associated with uncertainties due to the variables affecting it. Therefore, in this research, optimizing safety and health risk assessment was investigated in construction sites by combining a multi-criteria decision-making technique (TOPSIS) and a fuzzy system. In the present study, to answer this question, a new method was used ...
