A Study on Prioritizing the Adoption of Smart Safety Technologies in Construction Sites through 3D Matrix Analysis Based on Accident Frequency and Worker Perceptions by Accident Type

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Efforts are underway to prevent accidents occurring in the construction industry, by adopting smart safety equipment and new technologies. To maximize the effectiveness of smart safety technologies, high-risk, high-frequency accident types at construction sites must be identified and worker feedback must be incorporated to prioritize the adoption of these technologies according to urgency. This study analyzed high-frequency detailed accident types using the Comprehensive Safety Information System for construction projects. A survey was conducted to collect data on the preferred accident types for technology adoption, and the accident types were perceived as high risk. Based on these results, three-dimensional matrix analysis was conducted to prioritize the adoption of smart safety technologies. The top priority for adoption was “Architecture + Reinforced Concrete Work + Formwork Fall”. These results indicate that the goal is to prevent frequent accidents at construction sites by efficiently applying smart safety technologies.
