- Abstract
Introduction: Nearly half of occupational accidents in Iran occur in construction sites, therefore, modeling of occupational accidents in these sites is one of the soludons to design safety strategies to reduce occupational accidents in the field of construction, this study was designed and conducted with the aim of modellng the cause-consequence of accidents in construction sites. Material and Methods: this study was conducted based on a retrospective analysis of 10-year accident data (2010-2019) in Iranian construction sites in 2020, the main variable included the types of occupational accidents in construction sites, the study tool included accidents checklist as well as a detailed report of the studiedaccidents. the required data were collected based on a conceptual model designed to model the causeconsequence of accidents in the construction sites, Cause-consequence modellng of the studied accidents has been done based on the structural equation modellng and using IBM SPSS AMOS v, 22,0. Results: the frequency of the studied accidents was 3854 accidents, the annual averages of AFR and ASR indices were 17,27 ± 8,54 and 322,42 ± 44,23 days, respectively, the results of cause-consequence modellng of these construction accidents showed that individual and occupational, safety training and risk assessment factors as well as variables related to these factors have a negative and significant relationship with the indicators of the construction accidents, and the factors of environmental conditions and unsafe acts and variables belonged to these factors have a positive and significant relationship with these indicators (p < 0,05). Conclusion: the findings of the study revealed that the highest impact factors on accident indicators were related to safety training, risk assessment and unsafe acts and their variables, therefore, the results of this modellng can help to design safety strategies in construction sites.
