FIU Electronic Theses and Dissertations

The construction industry workforce weighs a major percentage of the overall business industry manpower. Due to the unknowns and uncertainties associated with construction activities, the construction industry experiences high frequency of accidents every year. Over the years, researchers have made valiant efforts to address this issue. The existing literature comprises thorough analyses of behavioral, organizational, and infrastructural modules that have reinforced the implementation of better construction safety practices. Recent advancements in construction safety literature imply the application of agent-based models to integrate behavioral attributes into simulated construction environments. Nevertheless, such studies adopted schematic approaches to replicate the hazard scenario in …
