Research on the application of multidimensional association rule in construction accidents analysis

Recently, there have been more and more building construction accidents. Meanwhile, the reasons leading to these accidents are becoming increasingly complicated. In this paper, the multi-dimensional association rule is applied to help analyze the reasons of these construction accidents. This paper also shows how to identify the strong association rules among person, instrument, environment and accident types. Furthermore, through the application of the strong association rules in 387 cases, the frequent reasons leading to the accidents are identified and combined for the purpose of finding the regulations of the accidents. Finally, these rules are taken as the basis for the managers to make precaution decisions.
