Abstract This study analyzes the relative importance of safety and health evaluation items for specialty contractors using the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). Although specialty contractors perform a substantial portion of actual construction work, their safety management conditions differ from those of general contractors in terms of organizational size, safety personnel, documentation capacity, and dependence on prime contractors. Based on a previously developed framework, this study established an AHP hierarchy with five evaluation domains and nineteen core indicators. A pairwise comparison survey was conducted with 50 construction safety experts, and inconsistent responses were excluded using the consistency ratio criterion.
The results showed that the safety and health management system had the highest priority, followed by legal compliance, hazard identification and improvement, implementation capacity, and accident response system. Key indicators included safety organization and responsibility system, management participation, emergency response, recurrence prevention, risk assessment, and legal compliance. These findings provide quantitative evidence for improving safety and health assessment systems tailored to specialty contractors.
