It is not unusual to observe that actual schedule and quality performances are different from
planned performances (eg, schedule delay and rework) during a construction project. Such …

Introduction: Construction incidents occur due to system failures, not due to a single factor
such as unsafe behavior or condition. Therefore, construction safety should be investigated …

The current approach to safety focuses on prescribing and enforcing “defenses;” that is,
physical and procedural barriers that reduce the workers' exposure to hazards. Under this …

Introduction: Labor productivity and safety are important topics in the construction industry.
Even so, the literature provides little information for project managers trying to determine …

PROBLEM: In construction, the challenge for researchers and practitioners is to develop
work systems (production processes and teams) that can achieve high productivity and high …

This paper presents an accident causation model that identifies the production system
factors affecting the accident process, and proposes accident prevention strategies. The …

This paper provides strategies for improving construction safety performance through the
analysis of numerical profiles of companies and projects with varying levels of safety …

Understanding the causal relationships between safety management system (SMS) factors
and accident precursors helps construction organizations identify which factors require …

There are various measures of safety performance for construction projects. Although the
metric involving the incidence of lost workday/restricted work activity injuries per 200,000 …

The Malaysian construction industry is stigma-laden 'dangerous, dirty and difficult'(3 D) with
a high number of blue-collar foreign workers. Poor safety performance is undermining the …
