The paper addresses the context in which the construction industry is considered risky, as the intense labor and machine environment interacts with acceleration and overlapping activities. This situation results in accidents and fatalities. A high number of accidents and fatalities leads to additional costs and delays, detrimental to all stakeholders. Hazard identification and quantification of their impacts on building safety are crucial for planning. Classifying security risks is a complex process, and risks are interconnected. There is a gap in the literature to study the interconnections of these hazards along with the frequency of occurrences. To bridge this gap, the frequency-adjusted importance index and the ANP (Analytical Networking Process) tool were used to capture the 14 interconnections and their frequencies based on the results of a survey distributed to 106 construction professionals. The main contribution of this work to existing knowledge is to identify and prioritize potential risks in the construction sector, considering their interconnections and their level of occurrence frequency. This is the first study in the literature to combine the frequency-adjusted importance index and the ANP tool, both integrated. The results from the importance index was used as the base for pairwise comparison for the ANP model. Based on the results from the model, recommendations to industry professionals are provided and presented.
本文探讨了建筑行业被认为具有风险的背景，因为高强度的劳动力和机器环境与加速和重叠的活动相互作用。这种情况导致了事故和死亡。大量的事故和死亡导致了额外的成本和延误，对所有利益相关者都不利。识别和量化这些风险对建筑安全的影响对于规划至关重要。对安全风险进行分类是一个复杂的过程，并且风险是相互关联的。在文献中有一个研究这些危害相互关系及其发生频率的空白。为了填补这一空白，使用频率调整后的重要性指数和 ANP（分析网络过程）工具，根据对 106 名建筑专业人员进行的调查结果，捕获了 14 个相互关系及其频率。这项工作对现有知识的主要贡献是，考虑到它们的相互关系及其发生频率，确定和优先考虑建筑行业的潜在风险。这是文献中首次结合频率调整后的重要性指数和 ANP 工具进行的研究。重要性指数的结果被用作 ANP 模型的成对比较的基础。根据模型的结果，为行业专业人士提供了建议并进行了介绍。
