Abstract

AbstractIn Indonesia, construction projects have a high risk of work accidents. The human factor is the cause of work accidents. For example, most workers have low safety awareness. Therefore, the workforce has a significant role in reducing the risk of work accidents. This study aims to build a conceptual model for improving the performance of Occupational Safety and Health (OSH) building construction projects based on behavior and understanding of workplace safety. This research method uses a dynamic system, choosing a dynamic system because this method can explain complex systems over time, time delays and looping between variables. OSH behavior, understanding and performance variables form the dynamic system model to improve OSH performance. Concept scenarios for developing a dynamic system model are financial incentives, OSH training and patrol frequency. This research was conducted in a high-rise building construction project in Surabaya. The results of this study are the dynamic system modeling for improving safety performance into a sub-model of understanding construction OSH, sub-model of building OSH behavior and sub-model of building OSH performance. Meanwhile, the scenario for improving OSH performance is providing financial incentives, training and increasing the frequency of safety patrols.KeywordsTrainingBehaviorPerformanceOccupational safety
