In a construction project there are various problems that occur, one of which is the problem regarding the occupational Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS) which must always be considered. The research location is located in the city of Ternate, North Maluku province. This study aims to determine which constraint variable has the most influence based on the perception of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) experts. The method used is the Analytical Hierarchy Process method through the distribution of questionnaires and interviews with several construction companies. Based on the results of the AHP analysis, the rankings of the constraint variables are as follows: no evaluation related to OHS for workers in the field (0.2312), low culture (0.2277), no punishment for workers who do not carry out OHS in the field (0.1486).

Implementation of the construction project is very necessary for the existence of risk management. It is necessary to anticipate and handle risks in construction projects because of the project's construction one such risk of occupational health and safety (OHS). So the need for the identification, assessment, analysis to anticipate the risks involved. According to OHSAS (18001:2007), OHS is all the conditions and factors that affect, or may affect, on the health and safety of employees or other workers (including contract workers and personnel contractors, or others in the workplace). The purpose of this research is to know the risk factors and the risk of dominant and controlling risks in the project. The methods used in this research is a method of HAZID, HAZOP, and HIRA. The results obtained, there are 48 types of risk factors, 47 with the medium category, and 1 with a low category. There are five dominant risks and 12 risk controls.

The project is a set of activities intended to achieve certain final results that are quite important for the interests of management. One of these projects includes construction projects. The process of building construction projects in general is an activity that contains many elements of danger. One focus of the contracting company is to create good Occupational Health and Safety (K3) conditions in the project. While the Occupational Health and Safety culture plays a very important role in shaping employee behavior towards Occupational Health and Safety. This research was conducted to identify and analyze what factors influence the culture of Occupational Health and Safety, especially in construction projects, as well as analyzing the influence of factors work safety and health culture on construction project performance. The research method used is descriptive qualitative method so that data can be searched as much as possible and explained descriptively. The results of the research show that the influence of Occupational Health and Safety culture is very important on the performance of construction project worker. That is because with a culture of Occupational Health and Safety will have a good impact on workers, like workers will feel safe and comfortable and it will make the work done more efficiently and increase productivity

The Impact

Background: Construction industry is classified as one of the most dangerous industries, where workers are exposed to accidents and risks. Objective: This study inspected the role of project manager in promoting Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) during the pre-construction phase in the construction projects in the Gaza Strip. Previous studies were reviewed in order to extract the impact of inadequate health and safety interventions in the construction projects throughout the world, and their applicability in the Gaza Strip was determined. Methods: This was achieved through a pilot study and a draft questionnaire. The questionnaire was developed in order to assess and evaluate the perception of project managers on the extent of their roles in promoting health and safety in the pre-construction phase. The sample size was 101, out of which, 77 completed questionnaires were returned by the respondents. Results: The study revealed that two project parameters, mainly affected by inadequate health and safety interventions, were quality and labour productivity. The main stage during which a project manager played a significant role in promoting health and safety was the planning stage, with “identifying specific safety issues from prior experience” being the highest sub-factor, which was followed by the designing stage, with “plan works at the design phase through a time schedule, citing the duration of processes, divided into steps and any process priority” being the highest sub-factor. Conclusion: Finally, there was the tendering stage, with “make ensure that facilities are provided on site for first aid and emergency medical treatment in the event of an accident” being the highest sub-factor. The results of this study show great awareness of a project manager in promoting health and safety in the pre-construction phase.
