With the rapid development of urbanization in China, a vast number of subway projects are under construction and planned in many cities. However, the complexities of the environment in subway construction inherently bring about many uncertainties and risk factors. Understanding the inherent properties of the critical success factors (CSFs) will contribute significantly to the subway construction. From this perspective, this paper aims to identify the CSFs for safety management in subway construction. This study screened preliminary CSFs through a literature review and in-depth interviews with experts in China. Based on the data gathered and subsequently analyzed from the questionnaire surveys, a final total of 24 CSFs were identified. Then, interpretative structural modeling was employed to ascertain the interrelations among them. The result showed that the factors concerning the engineering survey and design not only occupy relatively higher scores in the questionnaire survey but also contribute significantly latent impacts on other factors. In addition, the creation of a reasonable schedule and the investment of the safety measures were also found to have a fundamental impact on the safety management of subway construction. This research guided the safety managers in determining the most important safety factors they must face and provided them valuable information that could promote safety performance and decrease the number of accidents over the course of subway construction.
随着中国城市化进程的快速发展，许多城市正在建设和规划大量的地铁项目。然而，地铁建设环境的复杂性不可避免地带来了许多不确定性和风险因素。了解关键成功因素（CSFs）的内在特性将对地铁建设有重大贡献。基于这一观点，本文旨在确定地铁建设安全管理的关键成功因素。本研究通过文献回顾和对中国专家的深入访谈筛选出初步的 CSFs。基于从问卷调查中收集和随后分析的数据，最终确定了 24 个 CSFs。然后，采用解释结构模型确定它们之间的相互关系。结果表明，工程勘察设计方面的因素不仅在问卷调查中得分相对较高，而且对其他因素也有显著的潜在影响。此外，制定合理的进度计划和投入安全措施也被发现对地铁建设的安全管理有根本影响。本研究指导安全管理人员确定他们必须面对的最重要的安全因素，并为他们提供有价值的信息，以促进安全性能并减少地铁建设过程中的事故数量。
