Abstract

The apartment is a vertical building used for residential purposes. It is included in a high rise building category with high occupational risk accident level due to its work complexity, or high elevation factors. This research discussed the risk assessment of occupational accident at one of the apartment constructions in Surabaya in order to determine its dominant risk factors and mitigation. Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method was applied to this research. It is a risk assessment method based on severity, occurrence, and detection. Following the relevant assessment, it resulted in 3 types of occupational accidents with the highest Risk Priority Number, namely height work accident, falling material from tower crane, and risk of landslide excavation.

Highlights

  • Housing or residential development currently focused on vertical-shape buildings

  • The apartment construction will affect the area for housing construction due to high population rate [1]

  • Identification results on variables derived from previous research literary studies, occupational accident data, and interview results with Quality Safety Health Environment (QSHE) presented 38 occupational accident risk variables

Summary

Introduction

Housing or residential development currently focused on vertical-shape buildings (upward construction). The apartment construction will affect the area for housing construction due to high population rate [1]. The apartment is classified as a high-rise building category, it should have more than six floors. According to Mulyono [2] a high-rise building is a building with six floors and 20-meter in height. The construction of a high-rise building category should include occupational safety principles in its operational aspects concerning high occupational accident risks. The higher the building, the higher accident risks occur [3]. Some factors such as human behavior, work environment, operational method, and equipment can cause occupational accident risk. According to Ramli [4], the impacts of the occupational accident are harm employees or workers, and affect the time period and costs
