Model Development Using the Fuzzy AHP Technique for Construction Safety Assessment

Abstract

Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) in construction projects is very important because it can reduce the dangers of accidents. However, there are some workers that still neglect the safety rules. The results may cause disadvantages to the projects. Thus, this research aims to develop a framework for evaluating construction labor behavior using or not using PPE in a high-rise building construction project. In this research, the Fuzzy Analytical Hierarchy Process (Fuzzy AHP) technique is a method that combines Fuzzy Set Theory that can deal with ambiguous decision-making with the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method which can deal with complex problems systematically. The research information on the decision weight was received from the security experts in terms of criteria or factor levels. Finally, this research developed a model that can calculate the total percentage of PPE used in the project.
