Abstract

A construction project is inseparable from a series of tasks in the form of activities. Activities that take place on a project can be disrupted due to various reasons, one of the causes of the disruption of project activities are accidents on construction projects. The risk of workplace accidents can be prevented with early identification and analysis of the potential danger that exist in every activity contained in the project’s WBS. The need for a standardized WBS in preventing the risk of workplace accidents is very important because it would present a risk assessment, impact and frequency arising from workplace accidents. The aim of this study is to develop a risk-based WBS standard particularly for structural work, by using a qualitative approach. The results of this research are WBS standard for building, source of potentially dangerous risk at structural work, and the development of safety plan using a risk-based WBS that has been standardized, as a form of prevention, reduction or even nullify the risk of workplace accidents (to obtain zero accidents) during construction project implementation.

Highlights

  • Construction industry is a very unique industry and more dangerous than other industries

  • Accidents occurring at construction sites may result in serious physical injuries and accidents such as people falling from altitudes and crashing material or equipment, the cause of occupational accidents may occur due to worker negligence and undisciplined workers in the project environment, preventive measures against accidents should Implemented and implemented, so that workers and top management will raise awareness in preventing The workplace hazard handling strategy for construction may introduce potential hazards [5], further investigation of frequent hazards and may result in safety plans in construction projects

  • Level 3 is for area, level 4 are for sub work sections among others soil work, sub structure work, upper structure work, and roof work

Summary

Introduction

Construction industry is a very unique industry and more dangerous than other industries. The construction sites are constantly changing and temporary. Each construction sites involve of many sub contractors and they perform different types of work in close proximity to each other. The safety of workplace is an essential component of efficiency and productivity[6]. Construction workers, both staff and field workers are protected assets in order to work properly and productively until construction is completed without any workplace accident (zero accident). Workers need to be protected against the threat of accidents and health in work. Occupational safety measures are indispensable, both to workers and to corporations and to their production. A comprehensive OSH program and self-awareness of workers is essential to reduce the number of accidents [2]
