EVALUATION OF FACTORS AFFECTING SAFETY PERFORMANCE FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS IN RAJKOT CITY

By analyzing the points of construction process quality control in the building construction project and the relationship among quality control, cost control and schedule control, the main factors affecting the construction process quality control in the building construction project are given out, and a practical system is established. This system includes pre-construction quality planning, quality control, drawings reviewing technical tests, building products quality control, responsibility for quality and other aspects. The practical application of this system in some building construction projects proved its effectiveness in the project quality control.

Power And Dependence

The challenge of improving construction safety performance is observed in many countries. Safety is considered by practitioners and researchers as an important topic in construction industry sites. Despite the findings of implementing safety programs, it is revealed that accidents and injuries are not perfectly reduced in construction projects. In the literature, authors tried to establish several frameworks and proposed methods to reach this objective by identifying the key factors affecting safety performance. The aim of this study is to present critical factors used in the implementation of safety programs and to explore their relationships using Interpretive Structural Modeling (ISM). Then, via ISM technique, the overall structure among factors was revealed. By using the Fuzzy MICMAC analysis, the factors were classified into four groups based on their driving power and dependence power. The results showed that “Safety Training” and “Management Commitment” have the most important impact on safety programs, but also it is very important to study the interactions among factors at different stages. This analysis offers key resources for practitioners and decision makers by analyzing the relationships between factors and its driving or dependence strength. These results shed lights on the effective development of measures to facilitate the implementation of safety programs in the construction sector.

Total Productivity

Safety non-performance has not only contributed to higher levels of injuries but also decreased total productivity in the building sector. Through improving standards of safety practices, the condition can be changed. This paper provides a framework for recognizing the most neglected safety practices that must be improved. The research was performed using a questionnaire survey of 33 safety practices. Data obtained through 210 questionnaires from respondents who were working on building projects in the Sindh Province were analyzed using statistical package for the social sciences. All safety practices have been prioritized based on their mean safety performance values. Statistics have shown that the average safety performance of the building industry is 60.596 per cent. Construction safety practices that need special attention are listed as; (a) People should work safely even when they are not being supervised (b) Safety training provided to the employees of subcontractors (c) Investigations carried out to identify the causes of accidents (d) Accidents are reported/recorded (e) throwing or dropping of material/equipment carelessly. The findings also have shown that the factor 'Accident reporting and investigation mechanism', has the lowest level of safety performance, accompanied by 'Workers' involvement', 'Safety training', 'Safety practices', 'Safety meetings. The findings of this report will provide building stakeholders with valuable knowledge for safe work practices.
