Mehdi Saffar¹ Shahin Dabirian²

Abstract :
Safety is one of the most important factors affecting performance of construction projects. It plays an important role in the success or failure of a project. According to statistics issued by the various institutions, the highest number of accidents among all industries related to construction industry. Hence, improving safety level of construction projects is one of the most important issues should pay attention to it. In this study, all the factors affecting safety in construction projects are identified in the first step. Then, complex interactions between these factors are identified and effects of these factors on safety level of project are determined. After identifying interactions between factors, causal loops have been obtained. Then, effect of each factor on safety level of project is simulated by using the causal loops and based on systems thinking. Finally, the most important cycles are identified by investigating effective cycles. Also, the most effective safety management actions are offered and the best policies are presented for improving safety level in construction projects.
