Abstract: Construction incidents are essentially random events because they have a probabilistic component that causes their occurrence to be indeterministic. Thus, as with most random events, one of the best ways to understand and ...

Abstract: This paper proposes a case-based reasoning (CBR) approach to construction hazard identification that facilitates systematic feedback of past knowledge in the form of incident cases and hazard identification. This paper ...

Abstract: Risk assessment, consisting of hazard identification and risk analysis, is an important process that can prevent costly incidents. However, due to operational pressures and lack of construction experience, risk assessments ...

Abstract: In order for the construction industry to improve its poor safety performance it needs to learn from its mistakes and put the lessons learned to good use. This need calls for effective feedback mechanisms that can transmit ...
