and root causes. The causes of accidents found in this study are shown in Table 1.

The root cause analysis map was created to visually use the causes of accident factors. The root
cause analysis map is equivalent to Figure 2. This map was firstly divided into the manufacturing and
on‐site construction processes, and the accident type by the work activities for each process was
presented. In the lower part, the causal factors of accidents derived previous are expressed in tree form.
This map is used to determine the cause of future accident cases.
