Civil engineering (General) Water is an important element of life. To ensure the quality and demand of water supply, it is important for water treatment plant (WTP) to fully operate to ensure its sustainability of nation. With this role and through this phase the WTP workers are exposed to certain risks due to the crucial no of supply environment which situation at work 24 hours, daily. The aim of this study is to improvise the safety performance at WTP operation based on existing practice and enhance its safety features to suits the purposed of its needs. With this, three (3) objectives has been discussed which covers: (1) To identify the level of safety climate at WTP operation (2) To determine the critical hazard at the WTP (3) To propose the best strategy to improvise safety performance at the WTP. Quantitative and qualitative analyzes technique were used to collect the data. 100 survey questionnaires have been distributed among the WTP practices, while 72 respondents have been taken into consideration for further analysis. The data was analyzed using the factor analysis approach with SPSS and risk matrix analysis. The results show that management commitment and safety management system with an average mean value of 3.85 and 3.83 respectively is the most importance factor that needs to be improvised. From the analysis of the major hazard factor shows that exposed to various water disinfection chemical and exposed to the sudden release toxic i.e chlorine with a high risk level of 16.67 and 15.23 separately compare to 20 potential hazard. From the expert opinion show that for safety climate factor indicates enhancing a proper platform in discussing safety matter between management and workers, providing safety campaign and providing incentives to workers that comply with safety regulation is the best practices to be improvised. Besides that to improve the hazard control implementing transferring chlorine drum and improvise local exhaust ventilation system and also monitor the workers health surveillance. As conclusion Improvements to safety performance indirectly contribute to improving the health of the global community and contributing to the nation's gross domestic product (GDP). 2020 Thesis http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/86981/ http://eprints.utm.my/id/eprint/86981/1/ShaharulAbuHasanMSKA2020.pdf application/pdf en public http://dms.library.utm.my:8080/vital/access/manager/Repository/vital:134172 masters Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering Faculty of Engineering - School of Civil Engineering
