Identify of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) cost component for Flyover Project by developing of safety plan based on Work Breakdown Structure (Case study: Erection girder using tandem crane)

Abstract

Occupational, Health, and Safety (OHS) issues in Indonesia are still often overlooked. It appears that the number of work accidents is still high. Therefore, in early 2018 the government has decided to suspend all the elevated construction projects in Indonesia including Flyover Project. It causes negative impacts such as casualties, material, time, cost, etc. Two factors that most hinder OHS implementation in the project based on the contractor’s point of view are the high cost of OHS implementation and the safety cost provided for OHS implementation by the owner is inadequate or even none at all. Safety cost planning can be done accurately if the activities based on the Work Breakdown Structure (WBS) on the project can be well defined. The Activity-Based Costing method provides more accurate information especially on complex structures while can provide information on cost items. This study aimed to identify the OHS cost component of the Flyover Project based on standardized Work Breakdown Structure in erection girders application using the tandem crane, which is supported with archival analysis, expert judgment, and survey to obtain a decent budget and specifically allocated for the implementation of OHS to improve working safety conditions.
