Modification of HFACS model for path identification of causal factors of collapse accidents in the construction industry

Engineering Construction & Architectural Management, Год журнала: 2024, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Май 5, 2024

Purpose This study aims to modify the human factors analysis and classification system (HFACS) make it suitable for collapse accident in construction. Based upon modified HFACS, distribution patterns of causal across multiple levels were discerned among various stakeholders at construction sites. It explored correlations between two from different further determined causation paths perspectives level stakeholder. Design/methodology/approach The main research framework consisted data collection, coding analysis. Collapse reports collected with adequate information. HFACS was utilized all five each case. A hybrid approach stakeholder proposed frequency analysis, correlation path identification factors. Findings Eight external organizations fifth added original HFACS. Level-based analyses provided safety managers a holistic view inter-connected levels. Stakeholder-based its non-adjacent implemented based on client, government third parties. These identified useful develop specific plans avoiding accidents. Originality/value paper fulfils an need utilize model resulting accidents, which can provide opportunities tailoring preventive protective measures

Automatic Identification of Causal Factors from Fall-Related Accident Investigation Reports Using Machine Learning and Ensemble Learning Approaches

Journal of Management in Engineering, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 40(1)

Опубликована: Окт. 5, 2023

To enhance the performance of learning from past fall-related accidents, this study developed an innovative framework for automatically extracting every individual causal factor accident investigation reports based upon modified human factors analysis and classification system. Multiple techniques including synthetic minority oversampling technique (SMOTE) algorithm handling imbalanced data, soft voting with unequal weights ensemble learning, hyperparameter optimization were adopted to improve automatic identification unstructured text data. Experimental results denoted there no classifiers best accuracy F1 score unanimously any 19 subcategories factors. Therefore, one or more specific preferred predicting performance. Further comparative analyses between seven demonstrated that model by (ELSV) could provide stable predictions low variance across different compared machine models. It was suggested ELSV ought be prioritized collectively identifying all These findings are beneficial substantial accidents high efficiency reliability, valuable insights can discerned utilized controlling risk fall-from-height at construction sites.
