Abstract

Given that each construction infrastructure project is unique, it is necessary to perform a Job Hazard Analysis (JHA) for all high-risk activities in every construction project. Due to the dynamic nature of construction sites, JHA needs to be conducted before the job and then updated when new information is added. In most cases, JHA is performed manually, and it is challenging to reflect the changes in the construction plans or schedules in JHAs. Considering these challenges associated with JHA practices,previous researchers attempted to automate the JHA process by building ontology-based solutions.However, most of these studies have only considered the explicit knowledge of JHA and ignored the implicit knowledge for hazard identification and control, which is considered as one of the most important knowledge components in the process of JHA. Thus, this research attempts to represent theJHA knowledge based on both the explicit and implicit knowledge of JHA in a form of ontology, focusing on water infrastructure jobs. To achieve this goal, a document analysis on JHA documents and a qualitative Delphi method were adopted to identify the implicit and explicit concepts and relationships regarding the identification and control of various hazards from the practitioners. This paper provides the concepts related to JHA and the relationships among them that can be mapped onto an ontology for automating JHA processes.
