Pile driving accidents that occurred between 1984 and 2018 were selected from the Occupational Safety and Health Administration database, producing 84 cases. To evaluate the causes of accidents, pile driving stages were presented and the potential hazards were discussed. Two models were necessary to link the accidents with workers' behavior. An accident type model and a workers' behavior model were developed. The accident type model was related to physical factors leading to accidents, and the workers' behavior model determined the occupational behavior under the act of the incident. Among fatal accidents, unsafe site conditions had the highest frequency at 26.9%. Among non-fatal accidents, both poor attitudes toward safety and unsafe methods had the highest frequency at 28.1%. Furthermore, a map presenting work-specific accident frequencies in pile driving operations was created. Consequently, project-specific countermeasures should be taken regarding the root causes of accidents, leading to vigorous strategies to develop safety measures.
从职业安全与健康管理局数据库中选取了1984年至2018年间发生的打桩事故，共84起案例。为评估事故原因，介绍了打桩阶段并讨论了潜在危险。需要两个模型将事故与工人行为联系起来。开发了事故类型模型和工人行为模型。事故类型模型与导致事故的物理因素有关，工人行为模型确定了事故发生时的职业行为。在致命事故中，不安全的现场条件出现频率最高，为26.9%。在非致命事故中，对安全的不良态度和不安全方法出现频率最高，均为28.1%。此外，还创建了一张展示打桩作业中特定工作事故频率的地图。因此，应针对事故根源采取特定项目的对策，从而制定有力的安全措施策略。
