ABSTRACT
Construction safety accidents have brought huge losses to human society. The own characteristics of the construction accidents have determined the construction standards play an important role in the control and mitigation of construction accidents. The extremely complex of the management and risk control are the result of the frequent accidents and the high rate of project failure. The key points are the poor coordination of various stakeholder groups and the ignore of the adaptation to the external environment interaction during the implementation of the construction standards. As a result, this paper focused on the project construction safety accident based on standards adoption behaviors. Using social network analysis to build a social network mode of standards adoption in the process of the construction projects, the paper analyzes the individual networks and their related indicators of the overall network and finds out that the supervisor right has not been achieved well. And then, according to the optimization strategy selection of social network structure under construction accidents during the standards adoption process, this paper determines the governance policies of the construction accidents during the standard adoption process. It is convenient to lower the role risk of the stakeholders during the standards adoption process and improve the success rate of standards adoption of the construction safety accidents.
