The ranking of critical safety and health factor for construction site of high-rise residential building in penang / Ho Qin Ning
Oleh kerana banyak kemalangan yang berlaku dalam pembinaan dan akibatnya bagi pekerja, organisasi, masyarakat dan negara, Keselamatan Dan Kesihatan Pekerjaan (KKP) menjadi isu yang sangat penting untuk menjaga keselamatan pekerja. Bagi mengetahui bagaimana penyelidikan KKP dalam sektor pembinaan telah berkembang dari semasa ke semasa. Kajian ini lebih menumpukan pada bangunan kediaman bertingkat tinggi disebabkan oleh permintaan projek bertingkat tinggi terus berkembang disebabkan oleh pengurangan kawasan tanah yang boleh digunakan di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. Pembangunan pesat projek-projek bertingkat tinggi telah membawa kepada kebangkitan kematian dan kemalangan. Kemalangan yang berlaku di tapak pembinaan boleh menyebabkan kecederaan fizikal yang serius. Pertumbuhan bangunan tinggi yang berterusan menunjukkan bahawa terdapat keperluan pengurusan keselamatan dan kesihatan yang berkesan. Oleh itu, penyelidikan ini bertujuan untuk mengenal pasti kepentingan utama elemen-elemen di tapak pemeriksaan yang merupakan salah satu cara untuk mengelakkan kemalangan yang berlaku di tapak pembinaan bangunan bertingkat tinggi. Kaedah kualitatif digunakan dalam kajian ini. Temuduga dengan pegawai keselamatan yang terlibat dalam projek bangunan bertingkat tinggi di Pulau Pinang telah dijalankan dalam kajian ini. Kemalangan disebabkan oleh faktor buatan manusia, faktor persekitaran atau faktor jentera. Sementara itu, para penemuduga telah mencadangkan keutamaan penting elemen dalam pemeriksaan tapak di kalangan pengarah projek, jurutera tapak dan penyelia keselamatan di tempat kerja. Penyelidikan ini membantu mengenal pasti elemen risiko kritikal yang berkaitan dengan keselamatan dan kesihatan untuk kediaman bertingkat tinggi di Pulau Pinang, Malaysia. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________ Due to the high number of accidents that occur in construction and the consequences this has for workers, organizations, society and countries, occupational safety and health (OSH) has become a very important issue to take care of the human resource. For this reason, and in order to know how OSH research in the construction sector has evolved over time. This research is more focus on high-rise residential building due to the demand of high-rise projects continues to grow due to the reducing of usable land area in Penang, Malaysia. The rapidly development of high-rise projects has leaded to the rise of fatalities and accidents. An accident that happened in a construction site can cause serious physical injury. The continuous growth of high-rise buildings indicates that there is a need of an effective safety and health management. Hence, this research aims to identify the priority important of elements onsite inspection which is one of the ways to prevent accidents that occur at high-rise building construction site. Qualitative method was employed in this research. Interview surveying with safety officers who are involved in high rise building project in Penang were conducted in this research. Accidents were caused by man-made factors, environment factors or machinery factors. The accidents prevention methods were provided sufficient Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), have a good housekeeping, execute safety inspection, provide safety training and execute accidents investigation. In the meanwhile, interviewees have suggested the priority important of elements in site inspection among project directer, site engineer and safety ofiicer at workplace. This research helps in identify the critical risk elements related to the safety and health for high rise residential in Penang, Malaysia.
