Developing a generic safety performance evaluation prototype for construction projects in Malaysia

摘要: Despite recent efforts that have been made to improve construction safety, this industry yet considered unsafe (hazardous) due high number of recorded accident. Based on the statistics released by Department Occupational Safety and Health (DOSH) in Malaysia, between 2009 2015 highest rate fatality is for sector. To avoid accidents projects there a need implement proper safety health program ensure safe working practice place. Moreover, performance must be monitored evaluated. This research addresses interactions among factors during evaluation process which not before. majority measurement techniques disregards (pivotal) role parties such as owner, designer subcontractors who consequential affecting health. aims develops Generic Performance Evaluation Prototype (GSPEP) Malaysia. The first objective identify verify, significant sub-factors affect second obtain through Decision Making Trial Laboratory (DEMATEL) method while decision model developed. results indicate “Safety Commitment” most influential factor while, “Management Implementations” has total effect rate. In third objective, Analytic Network Process (ANP) employed derive weightage sub new framework. GSPEP developed 4, comprises 11 factors, 53 125 indicators carry according their effectiveness preventing occurring accidents. score project would calculated complying standards. As last then implemented real case studies evaluated judgments two groups experts academic researchers determine its applicability validity level evaluating both recognized evaluation. evaluate weaknesses within organization. also able facilitate awareness improving culture projects, since it involves cooperation all personnel from top management ordinary workers. comprehensive maker can system benchmark companies
