Abstract:

In order to improve the safety management level of high-risk operations, an intelligent management and control method was proposed based on the knowledge graph and the Apriori algorithm. First, some high-risk operation accidents were collected. Then, the accident causes were extracted and classified automatically by Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers-Bidirectional Long Short-Term Memory-Conditional Random Field(BERT-BiLSTM-CRF)model, which constructed a knowledge graph of high-risk operation accidents, storing relevant accident data. Subsequently, an index system of high-risk operation causative factors was established, combined with the corresponding operation standard specification. Furthermore, the correlation among causative factors was determined by the Apriori algorithm. Finally, some countermeasures were proposed for targeted control. In this paper, the application of confined space operations was used to demonstrate this method. The results showed that the main causes of confined space accidents are not wearing safety protective equipment", blind rescue", not being equipped with gas detection and other equipment", missing safety warning signs", insufficient safety education", and inadequate safety management". Moreover, the correlation between insufficient safety education" and not wearing safety protective equipment" is greater (80.7% support, 60.41% confidence), and the relationship between insufficient safety education" and blind rescue" also has a strong association (80.7% support, 55.88% confidence).
