TY - JOUR PY - 2022// TI - Exploring empirical rules for construction accident prevention based on unsafe behaviors JO - Sustainability (Basel) A1 - Wang, Han-Hsiang A1 - Chen, Jieh-Haur A1 - Arifai, Achmad Muhyidin A1 - Gheisari, Masoud SP - e4058 EP - e4058 VL - 14 IS - 7 N2 - This paper is aimed at exploring rules for construction accident prevention based on unsafe behaviors. The literature review demonstrates a clear connection between construction accident prevention and unsafe behaviors, followed by a 2-year field investigation resulting in 2207 observations based on convenient sampling with 95% confidence and 5% limit of errors in the 50-50 category. There are 80.43% unsafe behaviors categorized into "Regulations for the Occupational Safety and Health Equipment and Measures", where there are 66.37% of regulations and law VII violations, linking fall prevention with the most cases (94.48%) of Fall Protection and Structure Strengthening. The Apriori yields 13 association rules, where the top 3 rules show that 44.11% of the Passage and lighting category is linked to construction equipment inspections; 29.41% of the high-pressure gas category is linked to construction equipment inspections; 100% of the fire prevention category is linked to fire protection unsafe behavior. The findings clarify the association rules that can prevent workers from accidents in construction sites.
