碩士 === 國立臺灣科技大學 === 營建工程系 === 100 === Construction safety is a major issue. Constructions are often conducted in unfavorable environemnts (e.g. open-air, hillside, waterfront) with powerful machineries. Furtherore, a construction project often involves many sub-contractors, and many substroctors often have limited resources and are unable to establish effective management. As a result, construction hazards occurs frequenetly, and improvements are urgently needed. To improve the practice of construction safety management, Council of Labor Affairs of Taiwan (CLA) announced a series of guidelines. These guidelines require risk assessments for labor health and safety must be included in the construction design phase. The guidelines have established the need for implementing safety managements, work flows, methods, and application forms into the construction design phase. The guide-lines hope to reduce the complexity of safety management and tendency of having high accident rates at construction sites. This work developes a web-based risk assessment system in construction engineering. The system assists and guides the risk assessment in planning, design, construction phases. Assessment results are recorded in the system, and needed tables and charts are generated accordingly. The system further collaborates with BIM (Building Information Model) applications to help engineers visualize temporary and spatial variation of risks identified by using the system. The model can further act as a communication tool to coordinate discussions between engineers for developing safety measures.
