Given sizable capital projects in Hong Kong are using BIM from January 2018 on and site safety continues to be a concern for the local construction stakeholders. It is timely to investigate the potential of using BIM for construction safety. This research reveals the potential of using BIM for site safety is strong (85% supported), indicating Hong Kong should engage specific projects to test effectiveness of using BIM for safety, including implementation of safety management system and/or process of risk assessment.

In mid-2019, there was a construction accident during the underpass construction project in Yogyakarta. The underpass excavation wall in this project was collapsed and 2 vehicles were reported fallen. Although such accident sometimes occurs in some projects, it does not mean that these accidents are caused by the same source. Many efforts to prevent accidents have been done by various methods and one of them is an assessment by observation at construction sites referring to Government Regulation 05 2014 concerning SMK3 (Occupational Safety and Health Management System) in the Public Works Sector Construction. The details about the implementation of construction work are described in PUPR Decree No. 21 in 2019 in term of the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) Guidelines. This research was conducted to identify factors and indicators of management consultants, supervisors and contractors who have a major impact and contribution to the underpass construction project in Kentungan, Yogyakarta. The percentage level of accuracy in the application of the construction safety management system based on the assessment of the contractor was 85.938% and for the supervisory consultant the percentage level of accuracy was 97.29%. Both percentages are included in the satisfactory category since the assessment ranges are between 85% and 100%. Based on these two assessments, an evaluation was carried out using a Fault Tree Analysis to determine the causality flow of construction accidents.

It is acknowledged that construction safety is pivotal to the project management objectives. Meanwhile, the concept of resilience provides an effective and pragmatic countermeasure to improve the safety management level of construction projects. However, the “resilience” has not gained considerable attention in the construction safety management system. In this context, the paper aims to develop the key safety management factors for construction projects from the resilience perspective. Firstly, the theoretical framework and key safety management factors of construction safety management system based on the resilience theory are proposed. The importance of each factor is then obtained by using the method of structural equation modeling (SEM). The results indicate that information management, material and technology management, organization management and personnel management would improve the safety and resilience of the project. Specifically, improving the resilience of information flow to strengthen the interaction among elements of the system can enhance the safety management level. These findings can be used as references for construction safety managers to improve the abilities of preventing safety accidents and recovering after safety accidents.
