Popis: Safety is an essential topic for electric power plants. In recent years, accidents caused by unsafe behaviors of electric power plant employees are frequent. To promote the sustainable development and safety of electric power plants, studies on the assessment of unsafe behavior are becoming increasingly important and urgent. In this study, accident statistical analysis, literature review, and expert survey are adopted to select more comprehensive and accurate assessment indicators of unsafe behavior of the workers in electric power plants. Data about indicator and unsafe behavior were obtained through a questionnaire survey, and 27 indicators were used as inputs, and the unsafe behavior was taken as the output of a backpropagation (BP) neural network based unsafe behavior assessment model. An assessment indicator system about power plant workers’ unsafe behavior composed of 4 first-level indicators and 27 second-level indicators was established and the weights of the assessment indicators were determined. A three-layer feedforward BP neural network assessment model of “27-13-1” layers was found to be a suitable model. The proposed model can demonstrate the nonlinear complex relationship between the assessment indicator and the unsafe behavior of power plant workers. The model can be helpful to evaluate, predict, and monitor the safety performance of electric power plants.
