A Construction Safety Management System from Contractors’ Perspectives
Safety is a basic requirement as well as a difficult problem. Although Chinese contractors grow fast and become more professional, they never feel relaxed to ensure safety and avoid accidents, because construction market and project environment also change. Contractors who only use instinct and experiences cannot manage safety issues well. Rather, they should establish a safety management system and apply it in all projects. This paper attempted to develop a model of contractors’ safety management system, for that, an expert interview was conducted. First, the authors revealed defects of contractors’ safety management in present. Some defects were mentioned in literatures and agreed by a large number of experts, while some were newly discovered through this survey. These defects need special concern from contractors. Then, the authors proposed corresponding measurements for defects from three view angles, namely, safety culture, regular safety programs, and cooperation mechanisms. The safety management system and related measurements can provide a reference for contractors.
