İnşaat Sektöründe Yeni Bir Risk Analiz Yöntemi: HES

Hazardous environments are frequently present in the construction industry during both the project planning and implementation phases, with different risks emerging at each stage. Although various risk assessment methods are available to reduce workplace accidents, the industry prefers techniques that are adaptable to changing site conditions and easy to apply. This study examines the effectiveness of the Hazard Evaluation System (HES) matrix method compared to the traditional X-type and L-type matrix methods. The HES method provides a more detailed and comprehensive assessment by incorporating human factors such as employee training, age, severity, and probability. Since 88% of workplace accidents in the country are human-related, focusing on these elements allows for better risk mitigation. The study was carried out on a construction project in the Demre District of Antalya Province. Findings reveal that the HES method is more practical and reliable than traditional methods, while also improving project safety, enhancing efficiency, and generating economic advantages in construction operations.
