This document summarizes a research project on applying risk management principles to identify and analyze human risk factors in the construction industry. The objectives are to identify 197 human risk factors using systems theory and develop a computer model to analyze their influences. A risk management process is introduced including risk identification, analysis, and response. The model will function as a decision support system to determine the effects of human risks in construction projects and provide recommendations to respond to identified human risks.

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
5. Risk Management Limitations

6. 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
