Approach to Implementing Health and Environmental Safety System in Construction Projects Using Fuzzy Logic

Abstract

The present study's objective is the implementation of the general Health and Safety Executive(HSE) Plan in civil projects; at first, it is required to formulate the Work Breakdown Structure(WBS) in the relevant project with the aim of coming to a proper time plan. In this study, the scope of the implementation of this system includes two items in which the probability and risks of timing projects can come to light.The two substantial items in timing projects are activity and time itself which, in some projects, given the un-clarity of the scope of these two items, one is required to take into consideration the probable and approximate value of such scope with the analysis of the fuzzy expert method. And, one of the methods used for the analysis of the scope of timing probabilities is the use of the practical implications of fuzzy logic in engineering sciences; thus, in the essay at hand, the basic information required for risk assessment, fuzzy logic, the theory of fuzzy numbers, and the method used for analyzing, disintegrating, and composing them, with the purpose of applying them in projects' risk assessment, is presented.Fuzzy logic can be introduced as a powerful and flexible tool for analyzing the scope of risk of projects which is enabled to provide us with the mathematical formulation of the unclear or unspecific parameters and, eventually, represent the analysis and evaluation of data in a numerical format.

Predictive worker safety assessment through on-site correspondence using multi-layer fuzzy logic in outdoor construction environments

“…To provide a safer and healthier work environment for construction workers, the author in [43] proposed a fuzzy risk assessment model to evaluate the risks connected with various construction tasks in the small-scale construction sector. Also, in the study [44] , fuzzy logic is utilized as an analytical and scientific method to identify and mitigate risks in construction projects. The study explains how fuzzy logic can be used to construct fuzzy rules that can be applied as a referent database in the task of risk analysis.…”
