| This research aims to develop a comprehensive safety assessment framework for Industrialised Buildings using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). The research identifies key safety risks and assesses the critical factors influencing the safety of Industrialised Buildings. A quantitative research approach was employed, with data collected from 324 participants involved in Industrialised Building projects completed between 2018 and 2023 in Xi_an, Yan_an, and Ankang in Shaanxi Province. Respondents included academics, policymakers, contractors, and prefabricated component manufacturers. The results were validated through interviews and focus group discussions. Descriptive statistical data analysis was applied to rank the safety risk factors, and AHP was used to establish a structured safety assessment framework. Reliability and validity tests were conducted to ensure the robustness of the findings. The results indicate that management, technical, and human factors are the primary factors in safety assessment. Strong consensus was found among respondents on the secondary criteria of safety training and accident education, establishing safety reward and penalty systems, and conducting practical drills. However, discrepancies were observed in stakeholders' priorities: regulatory bodies emphasised policy enforcement and emergency preparedness, while contractors and manufacturers focused on operational feasibility and resource management. This study proposes a safety assessment framework for Industrialised Buildings that integrates diverse perspectives to strengthen risk management in Industrialised Building projects. The findings provide valuable insights for policymakers and industry professionals, assisting them in enhancing safety performance, reducing risks, and promoting the sustainable development of Industrialised Buildings. Future research should explore the adaptability of this framework in different regions and its potential integration with digital safety monitoring systems. |
