Background: Risk management is a preventive effort for a company, especially those engaged in the service sector, which is very prone to errors and complaints. For this reason, it is necessary to map the risks that occur in accordance with the work unit in it which is expected to minimize the number of accidents or errors in both patients, visitors and employees in the hospital. In the 2019 patient safety incident report data at the Surabaya A. Yani Islamic Hospital, it was found that there were incidents which included near miss 93%, not injured 4%, unexpected events 3% and Sentinel 0%. The purpose of this study was to identify and identify the application of occupational safety and health risk management at the A. Yani Islamic Hospital in Surabaya. Methods: This thesis is a qualitative research with a case study method with the aim of fully describing the implementation of K3 risk management at Surabaya A. Yani Hospital based on observation, survey and documentation data on 37 units and hospital workplaces by identifying risks. , analyze and find risk control measures. Results: The results showed that the implementation of K3 risk management in the Islamic Hospital of Surabaya A. Yani based on the results of risk identification obtained as many as 25 risks in the graha building and the old building which were further analyzed by finding 15 moderate risks and 10 high risks. can be done is by repairing damaged infrastructure and improving the existing security system at the A. Yani Islamic Hospital in Surabaya. Conclusion: The conclusion in this study is the implementation of K3 risk management at the Islamic Hospital of Surabaya A. Yani based on the process of risk identification and risk analysis, there are 25 potential risks, of which there are 15 moderate risks and 10 high risks that can potentially cause accidents to employees, visitors and patients. In this case, control efforts are made to minimize the number of incidents and accidents.

Construction Project Cost

Purpose Cost overrun of construction projects has been a key concern for all stakeholders of projects for many decades now. Many studies have been done in the past and continue to be done currently to understand the underlying causes of construction project cost overruns. However, the empirical evidence of the causes seem not be clear due to the silo approach in understanding the causes of construction project cost overruns. The purpose of this paper is to take the debate a step forward by providing an understanding of the causes of project cost overrun from a system’s perspective, especially from a less researched environment. Design/methodology/approach Data were collected and analysed from 131 respondents who were mainly involved in construction works in public procurement entities in Ghana. A two-staged approach was employed in collecting data from the respondents. The first stage involved an interview session with key informants in the construction industry in Ghana to ascertain the detailed causes of cost overrun of construction projects. The second stage focussed on the validation of these detailed factors by a wider stakeholder group through questionnaires. Factor analysis was employed to consolidate these detailed factors into major causes of construction project cost overruns. Findings The results show that there are primarily four major causes of most public sector construction projects cost overruns. These four major causes of cost overruns are poor contract planning and supervision; change orders; weak institutional and economic environment of projects and lack of effective coordination among the contracting parties. Originality/value The study provides more insights as to the critical and major factors that underpin public sector construction projects cost overruns and more importantly provides a basis for common treatment of the multiple risk factors engendering public sector construction projects cost overruns.

Abstract Construction industry involves the highest risk of occupational accidents and bodily injuries, which range from mild to very severe. The aim of this cross-sectional study was to identify the factors associated with accident severity rate (ASR) in the largest Iranian construction companies based on data about 500 occupational accidents recorded from 2009 to 2013. We also gathered data on safety and health risk management and training systems. Data were analysed using Pearson’s chi-squared coefficient and multiple regression analysis. Median ASR (and the interquartile range) was 107.50 (57.24- 381.25). Fourteen of the 24 studied factors stood out as most affecting construction accident severity (p<0.05). These findings can be applied in the design and implementation of a comprehensive safety and health risk management system to reduce ASR.
