Safety Risks

The construction industry is one of the risky workplaces attributable to its complexity and dynamic nature of construction activities. High rise building construction remains predominant for high accident rates counted yearly. A site-specific assessment tool that considers the characteristics and changeable conditions of the currently managed construction site is necessary to precisely assess safety risks. Therefore, this study aims to address the significant safety risks and principal factors associated with the high rise building construction projects in Malaysia. Responses obtained within the construction management personnel are evaluated using factor analysis to understand the latent critical risk factors. Preliminary findings suggest that all safety risks are significant and working environment is identified as the most critical principal factor which consists of diverse underlying safety risks with high loading factors. Successful investigations of the study will lead to the development of a high rise building construction safety and health risk model. From the practical view, these findings should assist the high rise construction project participants to be more attentive to health and safety issues.

Construction Safety Management

This study aims at identifying the critical success factors (CSFs) for safety management of high-rise building construction projects and exploring interactions among such CSFs. Study data were sourced from semistructured interviews and a questionnaire survey administered in China. The study constructs a third-order CSFs system containing six CSFs: management measures, management organization, technical and management plan, worker safety behavior, safety environment, and worker safety quality. Among these, management organization is found to be the key factor affecting construction safety management performance, while worker safety behavior is a factor with a direct impact. Implications for practice are proposed. This study enriches the existing literature on the CSFs and performance evaluation of construction safety management in high-rise building construction projects. Safety performance of high-rise building construction projects can be effectively enhanced by improving the professional competence of safety management organizations.

Various challenges should be considered in the development of an effective model for the planning and control of high-rise building construction. These challenges have been identified as results of the construction process. This paper discusses the engineering planning and management control in high-rise building construction. The methodology should also be able to address the concerns and considerations regularly faced in the industry and thus providing flexible modeling, which can be used by different levels of management
