Abstract

In Indonesia, there have been many accidents happening in the precast bridges projects. Separate budgets are not specifically provided in implementing OSHMS or Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems. The main purpose of the study is developing safety plan based on work breakdown structure to determine safety cost for precast concrete bridge construction projects. This research is using a survey research method. The respondents are construction safety experts. Descriptive analysis is selected to analyse the variables. The results of the study are safety plan to each hazards and activity, finding the safety costs components based on WBS in order to improve the OHSMS and reduce the rate of accidents. The safety plan is developed based on WBS and can be adapted to determine safety cost components and it can be easier in calculating the real safety costs.

Highlights

  • Indonesia is a large country and one of the most populous countries in the world

  • The number of bridge infrastructure projects that can increase the growth of the construction industry in Indonesia must be supported by precast concrete construction technology

  • Questionnaire 1 is used as instrument to find out the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) standard used in precast concrete bridge construction with launching gantry method

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is a large country and one of the most populous countries in the world. The total population reached 261,890,900 residents, with a population growth rate from 2010 - 2017 of 1.34% (BPS, 2018). The number of bridge infrastructure projects that can increase the growth of the construction industry in Indonesia must be supported by precast concrete construction technology. According to Elliot (2016) precast has several advantages, namely easy to build (buildable), cost-effective, and quickly implemented This growth was not followed by awareness of the importance of construction safety. Park and Kim (2012) said that in the planning of safety management for effective project completion, an important aspect is to identify risk based on activity (Gurcanli, et al, 2015). It is very important to define safety cost of a construction project properly, because costs are needed in the implementation of the safety management system. It is very important to develop safety planning based on standardized WBS to determine the safety cost in order to obtain usable output as construction guideline. This study is only limited to the structure of the precast concrete bridge with the erection girder method using launching gantry
