Proactive Approach to Measure Safety Management on Building Projects in Saudi Arabia

Safety management is important throughout the world specifically on building projects, which are prone to accidents due to their unique operations, dynamic and ever-changing nature. In every country, contractors implement safety management systems (SMSs) to avoid accidents and comply with applicable laws, regulations and to provide safe work environments for their workers. Nonetheless, accidents still happen on many building projects in the country. The objective of this work is to measure safety management as perceived on building projects by employing a proactive approach in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia to improve site safety. A survey instrument is utilized to gather data from building projects. Another questionnaire is used to conduct interviews with the key managers on the same projects. Analysis of the questionnaire survey is performed after entering the data into SPSS software by applying factor analysis and multiple linear regression. Factor analysis extracted two significant factors, including “management commitment, employee involvement, and safety training”—factor 1, and “project safety plan, safety committee, and safe use of equipment”—factor 2, which proactively measure the implementation of safety management on the building projects. The safety model obtained by multiple regression analysis identifies two significant contributors to the performance of the SMS. Analysis of the interviews complemented and validated the results of the questionnaire survey. The findings provide in-depth understanding of proactively measuring safety management on building projects for the construction industry practitioners to make project sites safer.

Analysis of the Implementation of the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) on the Cisempur-Budiwangi Road Reconstruction Activity, Cibalong District Tasikmalaya Regency

The construction service industry is an industrial sector with a high risk of work accidents. For this reason, implementing the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) is expected to reduce the number of work accidents. Many Road Reconstruction construction projects are carried out without implementing the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) following the rules referring to PUPR Minister Regulation Number 10 of 2021 concerning Construction Safety Management System Guidelines. This study aims to determine the implementation of the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) on Cisempur – Budiwangi Road Reconstruction Activities, Cibalong District, Tasikmalaya Regency. The research was conducted in several places in the Budiwangi Road Reconstruction project, Cibalong District, Tasikmalaya Regency. This research is qualitative descriptive, with data obtained by observation, conducting interviews, and filling out checklists. The results of the study: 1). The level of implementation of the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) with a percentage value of appropriate application of 67.44% and findings of nonconformity of 32.56% (Minor Category). 2). The factor causing the non-fulfillment of applications is the absence of processing documents and special formats for changes in the field that impact K3. 3) Response and improvement actions that can be taken are to create special procedures and formats related to changes that have implications for K3.

Overcoming barriers to smart safety management system implementation in the construction industry

The reliance on networked technologies in construction safety and health management is expected to increase; however, studies have reported potential resistance to the broad implementation of smart technologies within structured construction safety management systems (SMS). This study examines the challenges and drivers impacting the implementation of smart SMS in the construction industry using quantitative and qualitative research methods. The current state of safety knowledge and practices was reviewed and critical insights were obtained from construction industry practitioners. To identify barriers and solutions to implementing smart technologies in construction safety management, a literature review was conducted. Based on this review and semi-structured expert interviews, a survey was developed and distributed to U.S. construction industry management to assess their perceptions of these barriers and strategies. The study revealed 24 implementation barriers of which 14 were considered critical with mean normalized values ≥ 0.50. These barriers were categorized into four groups – organization, infrastructure, cost, and system integration-related barriers based on the correlation between the four different groups. Sixteen strategies that could help overcome these challenges and improve the integration of IoT-SMS technologies were uncovered and discussed. The findings from this study extend technology implementation theories by proposing an organization-infrastructure-cost-system integration framework for SMS implementation. Moreover, the study creates a foundation for evaluating barriers and strategies associated with implementing technology-driven SMS in the construction industry, thereby advancing research at the intersection of SMS and emerging technologies.

Investigating knowledge, practices, perceptions, attitudes and barriers associated with implementation of Food Safety Management Systems in Zimbabwe’s tea industry

Many companies in the food supply chain are beginning to adopt Food Safety Management System (FSMS), however, the Zimbabwean tea industry has not taken a similar initiative. The purpose of this study was to investigate the knowledge, practices, attitudes, perceptions, and barriers associated with FSMS implementation in Zimbabwe’s tea industry. Questionnaires were distributed to respondents from the 8 tea factories belonging to the 3 major tea companies in Zimbabwe. A stratified sampling technique was used where respondents were categorised into managers, supervisors and general employees. Findings indicated that there is little government input into FSMS issues as evidenced by the lack of legislation and guidelines as well as inconsistent inspections. There was no significant difference (p > 0.05) between FSMS knowledge and years of work experience or the company worked for. Employee knowledge of FSMS was unsatisfactory, especially amongst the general workers who had about 50% knowledge. Supervisors and managers had 63% and 97% knowledge levels respectively. The tea industry FSMS average knowledge score of 64% was also not satisfactory. There was a very weak negative correlation between practices and food safety knowledge, r (155) = −.077, p = .337. There was also a negative, relationship between food safety practices and attitude towards FSMS implementation, r (155) = −0.511, p < 0.001. Lack of technical knowledge and skill of employees, employee resistance to change, insufficient knowledge of FSMS, lack of financial resources, lack of management commitment and inadequate infrastructure and facilities were among the top barriers to FSMS implementation cited by respondents. The study concluded that lack of knowledge is the main barrier to FSMS implementation in Zimbabwe’s tea industry as this has a bearing on practices and attitudes as well as being the key driver towards persuading management to act.

This research aims to determine the implementation of the Occupational Safety and Health (K3) management system in the Light Vehicle Engineering Automotive Workshop at Cokroaminoto Vocational School, Kotamonagu, which is based on the Occupational Safety and Health Management System. This research is a quantitative descriptive research. The research subjects were 3 respondents, namely 1 Head of Department, 1 Workshop Coordinator, and 1 Technician. Data was collected using a questionnaire and cross-checked with documentation and interviews. Testing the validity of the instrument is carried out through expert judgment. Data analysis is presented in the form of block graphs and presented briefly in tables in the form of percentages of achievement scores which are then categorized and described based on the sub-indicators. Based on the research results, the achievement of indicators in the implementation of the Occupational Health and Safety Management System in the Automotive Workshop for Light Vehicle Engineering at Cokroaminoto Vocational School, Kotamonagu, namely 73.57% achieved, falls into the sufficient category, because the implementation of K3 has been achieved sufficiently, so it is necessary to increase the implementation of K3 following the K3 management system. The obstacles that influence the implementation of SMK3 are the lack of awareness among students about the importance of K3, the absence of a special team that handles K3 at the Light Vehicle Engineering Automotive Workshop at SMK Cokroaminoto Kotamonagu and the lack of documentation at the Light Vehicle Engineering Automotive Workshop at SMK Cokroaminoto Kotamonagu. Efforts made to overcome obstacles are by providing direction and advice to students about the importance of K3 and students are advised to always use PPE when practicing. The need for a special team that handles K3 and documentation related to K3 must be improved so that the implementation of K3 in Automotive Workshops is run by regulations and legislation. When using tools, students must take part in maintaining and maintaining them so that the tools are not easily damaged and it is necessary to replace tools if one is damaged and add additional tools so that students do not have to take turns using the tools.

Assessment of prerequisite programs implementation at food packaging manufacturing companies and hygiene status of food packaging in a developing country: Cross-sectional study

Food packaging has a critical role in all food types and along the food chain from product preservation to transportation, distribution, storage, retailing, and end-use. However, it can become a source of contamination and transfer of microorganisms to the packed food when its hygienic status is not well maintained. The aim of this study was to evaluate the Prerequisite programs (PRPs) implementation in 5 food packaging companies across Mount Lebanon through on-site inspections and to assess the compliance of contact surfaces, employee hands and packaging materials to microbiological specifications. Following on-site inspection, none of the companies achieved a full total score of 100% and scores ranged from 25 to 62%. Regarding the assessment of hygienic status of contact surfaces, non-conforming results (acceptable limit ≤0.6 log colony forming units (CFU)/cm2) were observed in 50% (5/10) of the surfaces for total viable count (TVC). For the employee hands, none of the hand swab samples (10/10) was conforming for TVC that was present in all samples above the acceptable limit. Highest and lowest reported values were 4.4 and 1.7 log CFU/hands respectively. For packaging samples collected during on-site inspections, TVC and yeasts and molds were detected in 20% (2/10) of the samples. However, the samples collected from the retail market, had higher contamination rates of 95% (19/20) and 65% (13/20) for TVC and yeasts and molds, respectively. As for Enterobacteriaceae, it was not detected in all tested contact surfaces, employees' hands, and packaging samples. PRPs assessment and related verification activities showed the need for companies to strengthen their hygienic programs and highlighted the importance of food safety management systems (FSMS) implementation not only in food companies but also in food packaging companies. Additionally, the effectiveness of PRPs implementation should be assessed on planned routine basis.

Implementation of Occupational Health and Safety Management System as a Role in Work Accident Prevention at PT Konsuil Perdana Indonesia Lubuklinggau Area

The Effect of Implementation of Construction Safety Management Sytem on The Level of Work Accidents

The high number of construction accidents in infrastructure development projects in Indonesia is caused by the risk of danger that exists at every stage of construction. The implementation of the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) is a manifestation of the labor protection system and for construction work, SMKK can minimize and avoid the risk of fatal work accidents. This study aims to determine the effect of the application of SMKK elements on the level of work accidents and find out the elements that greatly affect the level of work accidents in the X Toll Road Construction Project. Data collection methods are the distribution of questionnaires and interviews. Data analysis was performed using statistical analysis, namely multiple linear regression analysis. From the results of the study, based on the partial hypothesis test, it was obtained that the application of SMKK elements that partially affect the level of work accidents is the 3rd element, namely Construction Safety Support, while the other 4 elements do not have a significant influence on the level of work accidents and based on simultaneous hypothesis tests, it is obtained that the simultaneous application of SMKK elements has a significant influence on the level of work accidents. The results of the multiple regression equation show that the construction safety support element with a negative value means that it has the greatest influence that gives the possibility of work accidents occurring low compared to other SMKK elements.

Risk Analysis of Occupational Hazards Using HIRADC Approach in the Implementation of Occupational Safety and Health Management System

The high construction intensity can increase the risk of construction work accidents if not supported by good work method planning, risk management, and supervision. Indonesian National Social Security Agency for Employment (BPJS) noted that in 2017 the number of work accidents reported reached 123,041 cases, while throughout 2018, it reached 173,105 cases. Furthermore, in 2019 it was 114,000 cases and experienced an increase in claims by 55.2% to 177,000 cases in 2020. Then, from January to September 2021, there were 82,000 work accidents and 179 occupational diseases, 65 percent of which were caused by Covid-19 [1]. One approach to risk management is Hazard Identification, Risk Assessment, and Determining Control (HIRADC) to identify hazards, assess whether the risks on the job fall into the category of danger or very dangerous, and control the hazards that will happen. The study's objectives include identifying jobs at risk of occupational accidents during construction, analyzing the level of risk of occupational accidents to implement the occupational safety and health management system during construction, and providing control measures to reduce the risk of accidents. The results of the study stated that from a total of 49 hazard identification in the project construction work, there are 142 accident risks, with a percentage of 14% of the risks included in the high-level risk criteria, 86% included in the medium-level risk criteria, and there are no risks in the low-level risk criteria.

Risk-Based Approach in the Implementation of Integrated Management Systems: A Systematic Literature Review

The risk-based approach is one of the keys used in the implementation of management systems using requirements from the management standards. If the management systems are implemented separately, the risks are evaluated from only one perspective, but when two or more systems are integrated, the approach must take into account the synergetic effects of the risks due to system integration. The paper aims to highlight the specific risks encountered when implementing management systems in organizations, underlining the risks associated with systems management and integrated management systems. In this work, a synthesis was presented including an analysis of the risks that occurred during the implementation of management systems and those that occurred during their integration, the need and opportunity of risk management, the advantages, and barriers in the approach of risk management in the industrial sector. The review of the literature comprises the assessment of 190 papers, 11 books, and 5 standards. The content of the paper highlights a synthesis of risk-based thinking and the risks that can manifest in the implementation of quality, environmental, and occupational safety and health management systems in industrial organizations, as well as those which can manifest in the implementation of integrated management systems. In addition, the benefits and barriers in risk management and risk management strategies, with an emphasis on the presentation of the Deming approach to risk management, were evidenced. Some recommendations and proposals for future research were made.

Determination of Indicators of Implementation of Sea Transportation Safety Management System for Traditional Shipping Based on Delphi Approach

The implementation of the safety management system (SMS) in traditional shipping in Indonesia, known as “Pelra”, has not been implemented. The nature of the operation pattern and characteristics of Pelra, which are still traditional (non-convention), means that international maritime rules such as SOLAS, MARPOL, LLC, Collreg, and STCW, as well as Indonesian government regulations related to shipping safety, are not suitable for Pelra. As a result, Pelra ship accidents continue to occur every year in Indonesian waters without any efforts to deal with safety management. The aim of this study is to find indicators to assess the implementation of Pelra’s SMS that adopt the specific characteristics of Pelra sea transportation. The analysis was conducted with a Delphi approach, based on expert opinion in the field of ship safety, which was tested using non-parametric statistics (Kendall’s W test). The consensus results obtained 9 factors described in 44 assessment indicators to implement SMS on Pelra vessels. Several new indicators were found, including indicators related to ship stability, ship construction, and safety and navigation equipment. The level of expert agreement from the concordance W coefficient value is in the range of 0.3 (moderately strong) to 0.7 (very strong), which suggests that these findings are valid and feasible to be used as assessment indicators in order to implement SMS Pelra.
