Abstract:

This paper introduces the problem of safety for mobile construction robots and explains the concept of a “hazard” in safety analysis. The well known Safety Lifecycle Model is described. This model is then expanded to illustrate the hazard analysis are detailed, and three well known hazard analysis techniques reviewed- HAZOP, FMECA and Fault Tree Analysis. The shortfalls of these techniques are described, and a new technique known as Consequence Led Analysis of Safety and Hazards (CLASH) is proposed.
