The task of operating, maintaining and improving this stock of existing building is the responsibility of the building industry, as much as the production of new buildings. In many ways, it presents a more demanding safety consideration in performing the building maintenance work.

The survey consists of general information and 28 safety factors relevant to contractor safety which were used to measure the contractor’s safety attitude. Finally, the safety factors were ranked by their level of importance based on the survey result. In addition, the frequency rates and contractors safety attitudes determinants were used to measure the safety performance level for building maintenance contractors. 2006-12 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/5493/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/5493/1/IlyaniIsmailMFKA2006.pdf application/pdf en public masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Civil Engineering Faculty of Civil Engineering
