Large Investment

An analysis of causes of injuries occurred in construction companies that implement large investment construction projects shows that the lack of skills of employees is a factor that determines the likelihood of risk events in the field of occupational safety and health: dangerous behavior of employees, dangerous working conditions created by managers and engineering and technical employees. The lack of competencies is the main cause of major and significant incidents in 10-12 cases out of 100; in 35-40 cases, it is a concomitant cause. The current state of affairs has determined the direction of efforts to achieve and maintain the highest indicators in the field of environmental and industrial safety and labor protection. In particular, JSC "Scientific Research and Design Institute for Gas Processing", LLC "SIBUR", JSC "Gazpromneft" and LLC "Gazprom Pererabotka Blagoveshchensk" are improving the safety of construction production through training of employees. The article presents the results of the study on developing required skills in employees of construction organizations at construction sites when implementing large investment construction projects.

The Relationship

Purpose: To search for training methods for specialists in industrial safety, environmental and occupational safety and health in conditions of insufficient (or absent) laboratory support and to study the relationship between the student learning approach and acquired competencies. Design/methodology/approach: To study modern advances in industrial safety, environmental and occupational safety and health and training methods for specialists a systematic literature review approach has been used. For publications from 2017, queries were asked through keywords and safety related topics. To relationship study between the student learning approach and acquired competencies a student survey on random sampling has been used. A total of 112 students of the 3rd and 4th year of study at the university were interviewed. Findings: The results of the survey showed that the students’ number who simultaneously successfully answered theoretical questions and completed practical tasks is 33.8% from the group with theoretical training and 75% from the group that was trained in the workplace. The relationship between the groups with a visit to the existing enterprise and acquired competencies was justified by the association coefficient and contingency coefficient that are 0.7 and 0.4 respectively. Research limitations/implications: A student’s survey was conducted at only one university. Questions were asked only according to the curriculum of the course “Labour Protection”. No survey for other training courses conducted. Practical implications: The research results are reasonable and can be applied at universities to improve the educational process of training specialists. Originality/value: It was proposed that students be trained using existing enterprises as a laboratory base and by the methods of statistics mathematical processing was substantiated the proposal feasibility.

Methodological Approaches

Investment construction projects are implemented under constant changes, which forces managers to assess the uncertainty and risks they generate, to manage changes in their own activities and activities of construction organizations. The article describes the main methodological approaches to the development of a model of risks of investment construction projects in the field of labor safety and protection. The approach is based on the method of quantitative assessment depending on the level of processes being evaluated and data characterizing these processes. The proposed concept will make it possible to develop an algorithm and a computational and analytical model for the subsequent automation of the process of quantitative assessment of risks and the dynamics of their change on the basis of the information-digital system. For example, the Corporate Occupational Safety Management System, developed and used by NIPIGAZ JSC to manage occupational safety processes, ensure industrial and fire safety, environmental protection, will make it possible to put into practice the methods of predictive and operational risk analysis, increasing the efficiency of the investment construction project.

<p>The study determined the levels of knowledge, awareness, and compliance of engineers and workers with respect to the required occupational safety and health (OSH) program of construction companies contracted by educational institutions in Davao City. Employing a descriptive correlation approach, this investigation ascertained the relationship between the levels of safety awareness and compliance of the respondents for such program as advocated by the Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) and Department of Public Works and Highways (DPWH). Through a researcher- made questionnaire (α = 0.957) and basic descriptive (mean and standard deviation) and inferential (Pearson r) statistics, findings reveal that the high level of knowledge is attributed to the observance of government training and regulations on safety through the DOLE in cooperation with DPWH, on the construction sites. Furthermore, there is a high level of awareness among engineers and workers regarding the implementation of safety and health program of the contractors hired by the educational institutions. A very high compliance level for engineer respondents implies that there is a strong commitment to obey what is mandated by DOLE Order 13 regarding safety and health program even if the worker respondents are only perceived to abide by the rules and regulations set by the company vis-á-vis safety and health program. Results also uphold that the level of safety awareness is a factor that is strongly associated with the level of safety compliance.</p>

Safety And Health

The construction industry has experienced a lot of occupational accidents, and construction work is considered one of the most dangerous occupations. In order to reduce the number of occupational injuries from construction, the South Korean government legislated the occupational safety and health expense law, requiring companies to reserve a reasonable budget for safety management activities when budgeting for construction projects. However, safety budgets have not been spent based on the risk of accidents, and a large amount of the safety budget is spent either in the beginning or late stages of construction projects. Various accident risk factors, such as activity types, previous accident records, and the number of workers on a construction site, need to be considered when determining the safety budget. To solve such problems, this study investigated the expenditure trends of occupational safety and health expenses for 10 apartment construction projects in South Korea. This study also proposed an accident risk index that can be incorporated with the project costs, schedule, the number of workers, and historical accident records when budgeting for the safety costs. The results from the case study illustrate the limitations of the current planning strategy for safety expenditures and demonstrate the need for effective safety budgeting for accident prevention. The proposed safety cost expenditure guideline helps safety practitioners when budgeting for the occupational safety and health expenses while considering accident risk and the characteristics of safety cost expenditures in practice. The outcome of this research will contribute to the development of regulations for the budgeting of safety costs and help to prevent occupational injuries by providing a reasonable budget for safety management activities in an apartment construction project.

Occupational Safety and Health is the program to protect workers from the dangers of work accidents and occupational diseases that may occur during work. This study was conducted to determine the implementation performance of occupational safety and health program, to find out the obstacles during the implementation occupational safety and health programs, as well as labor laws and regulations relating to OSH on construction projects in Dili Timor Leste. This study collected data by distributing questionnaires to employees who work on the four (4) ongoing construction projects in Dili. Data analysis was carried out on Microsoft Excel which further processed the data using the mean count to determine the average value of the questionnaire and the standard deviation. This study found that the project in Dili has implemented the Occupational Safety and Health program. This can be seen from the overall results of the analysis with a mean value of 4.49 and a standard deviation of 0.473. From these results, it can be concluded that every construction project company prioritizes the implementation of OHS. The second result is the obstacles in applying OHS; from the analysis results show that the barriers from the worker side are rank 1 with a mean value of 2.90 and a standard deviation of 0.925. It can be concluded that many obstacles in implementing the OSH program occur from the workers' side due to the lack of awareness and knowledge of workers about OSH in working on construction projects. The result of the third analysis is Timor Leste's labor laws and regulations. The results of the analysis show that it is sufficient for companies to apply Law no. 4/2012 on employment in the areas of security, hygiene and health in the workplace.
