Abstract

The HSE technique is used for evaluating the health, safety and enviromental risks. This is a systematic method which is utilized for protection of capital, manpower and environmental towards the risks of unpredictable events in construction projects. In this paper, HSE method is utilized for evaluating construction projects in Mashhad. For this purpose, health, safety and environmental risks are identified. Then a performance function is proposed based on assumed risks. Weight of identified factors and evaluation the efficiency of proposed function are performed by SWOT matrix and Monte Carlo simulaton technique, respectively. To do this, by prapering, distribution and purchasing health, safety and environment checklists between HSE experts, project managers and supervisors of workshops, their comments are recieved. By running SWOT matrix method and Monte Carlo simulation, health, safety and environmental risks of Mashhad construction projects are classified based on proposed function. Results show that the highest and the lowest risks in construction projects in Mashhad are caused by welding safety related processes and the risks of HSE planning, respectively.
