Abstract:

To clarify the accident causes and their association rules of strike accidents in hydropower project construction, specific accident prevention strategies were proposed to curb accidents at source. Based the selected object strike accidents during hydropower construction process, 14 accident causal parameters were summarized using text mining from four perspectives including worker, machine, environment and management. Moreover, an importance analysis model was proposed by coupling association rules and the DEMATEL approach to analyze the interrelated relationship between causes and determine major accident causes. The results showed that the accident causes of object strikes in hydropower projects were closely related to each other, among which inadequate safety supervision and inspection, illegal operations, insufficient safety protection, and weak safety awareness directly affected the accident's occurrence. Furthermore, the deeper causing factors of accidents were incomplete on-site cleaning, insufficient disclosure of safety technology, and inadequate safety education. Weak safety awareness ranked first in terms of centrality and had the greatest influence on the accident causation system, thereby the above causative factors should be emphasized in project construction.

Key words: text mining, hydropower project construction, object strike, accident causes, association rules, decision making trial and evaluation laboratory(DEMATEL) approach
