According to the latest disaster statistics from 2023, the number of deaths resulting from significant occupational disasters nationwide is 300. Falls and tumbles were the leading causes of occupational disaster fatalities, accounting for 143 deaths or 47% of the total. The occupational disaster rate in the construction industry is close to 50%, significantly higher than in other industries. Occupational Safety and Health Administration, Ministry of Labor has set this year 2024 as the“year of fall hazards in the Construction Industry”, which once again reveals that the prevention of fall hazards in all business units must be undertaken without delay and must continue to be strengthened. This study is oriented towards key disaster factors and explores the high occupational disaster factors of fall disaster accidents in the construction industry. Based on the analysis of occupational disaster cases over the years, the causes and situations of falls are highly similar. In the meantime, the on-site investigation found that there are deficiencies in safety facilities, personal protective equipment, and the utilization and installation of construction equipment, in which problems in the configuration of scaffoldings, equipment for elevation pathways, and safety facilities as opening protection are the most serious. Therefore, based on the Pareto principle, or 80/20 rule, it is proposed that the three key factors causing fall disasters include: improper configuration, insufficient body protection or lack of safety facilities, and insufficient performance and strength. Furthermore, the Pareto principle is used to propose the application of ''maximizing resource efficiency of key factors'', hoping to improve the safety of constructions with new thinking and practices. Business units may consider the effectiveness of resource allocation based on the most influential key factors for the application to preventive measures and strategies to help business units systematically select and allocate resources to maximize resource efficiency, thereby effectively improving construction safety and reducing occupational disasters. |
