The choice among alternative automatic equipment used to protect the construction site against major accidents is considered. Methods of multi-attribute selection are suggested to implement the choice. This includes attributes accounting for the possibility of failure of the automatic equipment (safety-related attributes). The epistemic uncertainty in the safetyrelated attributes is quantified by means Bayesian analysis. Prior or posterior probability distributions of safety-related attributes developed during this analysis are used as input data for the multi-attribute selection.
