Abstract

Occupational accidents in the construction industry are more common compared to other fields and these accidents are more severe compared to the global average in developing countries especially in Iran. Therefore studies which lead to the source of these accidents and suggest solutions for them are valuable. In this study a combination of the failure mode and effects analysis (FMEA) method and fuzzy theory is used as semi qualitative-quantitative method for analyzing risks and failure modes. The main causes of occupational accidents in this field were identified and analyzed based on three factors; severity, detection and occurrence. Based on whether the risks are high or low priority, modifying actions were suggested to reduce the occupational risks. Finally the results showed that high priority risks had a 40% decrease due to these actions.
