Risk Management in the Construction
Industry: the relevance of Human
Factors
Vicknayson Thevendran
Main Objectives of Research
Project
To apply Risk Management fundamentals to
identify Human Risk Factors
To introduce a new methodology to analyse
Human Risk Factors using Systems Theory and
Financial Modelling techniques
Providing recommendations to respond to
Human Risk Factors
Risk Management
 A continuously monitored integrated
formal process for defining objectives,
identifying sources of uncertainties,
analysing these uncertainties, and
responding to these uncertainties by
formulating management responses,
to produce an acceptable balance
between risk and opportunities
Risk Management Process
Risk Identification
Risk Analysis
Risk Response
Risk Management Limitations
 Lack of Expertise and Awareness
 Difficult to Apply
 Unable to Effectively Deal with Human
Factors (Qualitative Elements)
Human Risks Identification
 197 Human Risk Factors were identified.
These factors can be divided into 13 core
categories
 Human Risk Factors identified display 3
types of influences:
 Positive
 Negative
 Mixed
Human Risks Analysis
 Equation Development  coefficients
obtained from 3 questionnaire surveys
 Developing a Computer Model and a
Risk Severity Chart
 Model Tested on Real Life
Construction Projects for validation
Purpose of Human Risks Model
The Human Risks Model will function as a
Decision Support System to determine the
effects or influences of Human Risks
Factors in all stages of a Construction
Project
Human Risks Response
Mechanisms
 Reduction/ Elimination
 Accepting/ Retention
 Avoidance
 Transfer
 Sharing
 Enhancing
 Exploiting
