Abstract

Safety is one of the greatest challenges in the construction industry. Researchers proposed various safety systems to manage site safety and improve safety performance at the project level. However, these safety systems still exhibit large disconnections between the theoretical components of the systems, luck the risk prevention from specific work procedure and controlling methods. As a result, different safety teams often implement safety plans and activities in different ways, yielding different results without stability of the safety system. A safety framework that based on the construction method statement with a clear logic of safety management elements under controlling points is proposed to increase the efficiency of safety system execution at the project level to reduce the safety risks systematically. This study begins by analysing safety systems currently on the market and breaks them down to three main components: setting up the framework through systematic models, interconnecting various safety elements through safety management theories with logic, and controlling safety management data flow through an artificial neural network model, where corporate safety management frameworks are incorporated at the project level. Then the framework is further applied and tested in a semiconductor project. This framework provides an integration of safety elements, field activities and associated risks, draft the path and flow of information data generated from the safety activities and controlling points of data which enable the field safety management system to be executed with new technology of cloud based algorithm at project levels. Because each project is different based on the construction methods and sequence, the framework only covers a certain depth in the construction process based on the assumption of construction sequence presented in the study. Nevertheless, each project requires a custom design framework to accommodate the special construction method and sequence which might be different from this study to increase construction safety performance.
