| Abstract | For most of Hydropower Projects, the scale is very huge, rather long time is required in order to finish the projects, and the construction process is also very complicated, involved with very high risks. For the successful promoting health and safety, planning, organization, leadership, control, evaluation, insp ecting, investigating, recording, analyzing and reporting are in the important role. An effective safety program includes all these parts. It is needed to be designed to make th e most of available time and resources in preventing accidents and occupational disease. Ther efore, it is urgent to make a research on how to allocate resources effectively for the co nstruction safety at Hydropower Projects. This study is specially dedicated for ide ntifying and evaluating hazardous level of the accidents that may occur at the various work s of the Hydropower Projects, by using LEC method, based on the risk factors which may cau se the accidents and then evaluating the rate of each type of works with respect to the resources allocation strategy at the Hydropower Projects by using the resulted accident hazardous levels. Then, it is dedicated to analyze and calculate prioritization of the most effective safety programs with the resources allocation strategies through the specifi cation of the relevant weight of each safety program resulted from AHP method.To cope wit h those objectives, AHP method and LEC method are major tools in this Thesis. The result reveals that Safe Practices and Procedures, Health and Safety Rules and Responsibil ities are equal, and they have the highest scores for priority. Moreover, Joint Health and Safety Committee, Workplace Hazardous Materials Information System, Training, W orker Orientation and Emergency Procedures are nearly equal and have middle scores for priority. Furthermore, First Aid and Medical Services, Inspections and Hazard Assess ments, Reporting and Investigating Accidents, Health and Safety Promotion are also nea rly equal and have the lowest scores for priority. These results are in the meaning of the effectivene ss of the safety programs on the overall works at Hydropower Project s. By applying these resulted scores, the decision makers can easily decide how t o allocate resources on each type of the effective safety programs in the cases of implement ing, monitoring, evaluating, adjusting those programs for the Hydropower Projects. |
