Analytic Hierarchy Process for Evaluation Weights on Occupational Safety and Hygiene Items in the Bridge Construction Site

Abstract

This paper aims to evaluate key factors that associate Occupational Safety and Hygiene management during bridge constructions by the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Data were collected from experts' questionnaires and conducted on the Expert Choice 2000 software. It finds that electrocution factor plays an important factor on this study rather than fall injury factor as one knows. The reason maybe cause by that electrocution events have less been reported by supervisor than fall injury events. This study found that the results from AHP analysis were partial consistent with traditional labor safety and hygiene assessment item that fall injury factor shows. Hence, it is ensured that AHP model has capacity to evaluate weights on occupational safety and hygiene management assessment items in bridge constructions and to provide more in-sighted objective (electrocution) on this topic.
