Abstract

This is a review paper to analyze factor of safety affecting the construction industry which is mainly involved in building projects all over the world. Every country has their own unique tall building or known as skyscrapers is constructed to elevate the country pride. On the other hand, tall building save space and accommodate more residents as compared to low rise buildings. However, vast problems encountered by construction team to ensure the safety performance of the construction site is well maintained. In all over the world, we can observe that there are many accidents involve during building construction especially due to safety misconduct. Those accidents affect directly on the project performance of works delay and financial constraint due non-compliance of safety procedure. A definitive objective for the construction industry is to lessen workplace accidents, wounds, and fatality to zero. The less accident there are, the more popular the construction company name will be, this popularity can contribute to the company revenue whereby client favours to award the project to the construction company which has a good reputation and well-rounded in terms of safety management as well. In this study, the factor of safety misconduct that affecting safety performance of tall building construction site will be identified through literature review and questionnaire survey. The factors will be validated as well using the case studies project. The statistical strategies including Relative Importance Index (RII) and Average Index (AVI) will be used to break down the information accumulated, while the statistical package for the social science (SPSS) will be used to gauge the Spearman�s rank correlation between different gatherings of respondents, the Cronbach�s alpha (re-liability test) and legitimacy of the study. The sub factors, which were grouped into five main groups according to past studies namely: 1) worker involvement 2) Management 3) Material and Equipment 4) workplace & 5) Software and Technology. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Singapore Pte Ltd. 2021.
