| Summary: | Activities on construction site contribute have a lot of risk. The aim of this research is to study risks that contribute on construction accident, and factor affecting construction accidents. The risk and the factors affecting construction accidents were established from literature review. The questionnaire were prepared and distributed to project managers, engineers on construction site in Johor Bahru and the feedback were analyse using average index and HIRARC. The result shown the highest risks are mechanical and psychological. The results have shown that the highest two factors in management involvement are management commitment and support; and safety leadership (4.22). While for safety (policy), the highest factors are safety inspection (4.29) then followed by the safety protection measure (4.20). To reduce construction accident, there are four control measures were proposed according to the risk which are substitution, administrative control, engineering control and personal protective equipment. However, good safety management such as using PPE and top management support manage to keep the risk at medium level. To enhance construction safety needs management support, planning and training and comprehensive safety and health plan. |
