__Construction fatalities in Singapore__

In this article, it describes the rate of accidents at construction sites in Singapore. In the next two years, there were 40 cases of horrific accidents in the country. It is quite alarming amount for a country that is advanced and high impact. This made the authors to choose the factors in this study. In this study there are several factors that affect what happens in Singapore, namely a number of employees fell by accident is between the ages of 24 to 34 years. Apart from that one in five workers are not skilled workers. the other hand, 95 percent of workers involved in accidents are employees who do not receive higher education cause a low security knowledge. It also one of the two accidents that happened was at least a period of rest in which the monitoring by the authorities and last is the most accidents occur is during the rainy season in which the site is smooth and hard to see cause they are contributing to this accident. after reading and reviewing this article, I find that a study done by the author is best and can be taken into account and applied in this country even if the research is in the country singapore. Factors that place is where the replay - any place around the world. the study should be taken seriously by any responsible party.

__Factors affecting safety performance on construction sites__

In this article, it explains the factors that influence safety performance on construction sites. It explains what factors that may affect the safety factor at the construction site. This research studied seven group of factors that can have an influence on the performance of safety on construction sites. The factors studied were historical economical, psychological, technical, procedural, organizational and the working environment. There are several possible solutions, written in this article that are not historical factors affect the safety factor, the payroll can not be expensive gamble of life of workers, and there are some other solutions may be effective. after reviewing and reading this article, I can conclude that this article gives many facts and resolution of the study authors. in my opinion this article and can be applied in practice in the care of the security either at the construction site and also in the world of high-risk occupations. because the factors studied by the authors is closely related to the problems that arise in the working world. So employers should take seriously the results of research carried out so that all the problems that arise and can not be resolved will be resolved soon.

__Good management practice as a means of preventing back disorders in the construction term sector__

In this article, it explains about Good management practices as a means to avoid re-intervention in the construction period. The conclusion is that we must increase awareness of the work on site before the excess profits resulting from high-impact projects value. In addition to the engineering actions, it is recommended that all the equipment that may be used to facilitate and work is set in the most effective manner. Moreover the work and the development of new, safer, and more ergonomic working procedures and methods required detailed analysis of the nature and consequences of the problems caused by working conditions have not done. In the first engineering construction period, there is a need for technical innovation. This includes the assistance of mechanical handling equipment with better ergonomic designs, and tools, machinery and material more suited to the specific needs of employees before the construction period. After reading this article, I found that this story has attracted a lot of facts and how the author managed to describe the problems that arise and provide opinions and solutions based on the true facts through research done. I think that all the solutions that arise successfully described by the author and can be accepted by the industry and the private sector. Based on my observations, this article helped me a lot in doing the research and provide a variety of opinions quite different from limited resources. This suggests that the author was able to convey the true facts to be shared by others.

Title: [|Measures to improve safety and productivity simultaneously]

From journal ERGONOMIC Industry, volume 15, pages 261 to 269, Simon Salminen, Jorma Saari seek measures to increase productivity and at the same time. The purpose of this study was to determine how the productivity and safety can be integrated. Two hundred and eight people in connection with a serious work accident evaluated the effectiveness of the 26 actions related to the productivity and safety. Subjects felt that the engine repair and equipment, provide more extensive work site, and begin a better best household will increase both productivity and safety. Subject to stress that the example set by the driver is very important for safety. The safety officers and safety representatives of employees’ were the most optimistic about the impact of the measures, while the driver of the most critical. The results showed that it is possible to design measures that increase both productivity and safety. My opinion is to solve this problem manufacturers have to provide knowledge to our employees and ensure employees understand the material, equipment and machinery used.

Title: **Use of association rules to explore cause–effect relationships in occupational accidents in the Taiwan construction industry**

Wu Ching-Cheng, Lin-Chung Chen, Soul-Sen Leu (2010). From article use of methods to explore the association of cause and effect relationship in work accidents in the construction industry in Taiwan. Knowledge of Safety, Volume 48, Issue 4, April 2010, page 436-444.The journal is the focus of the majority of accidents found comes from a combination of the first failure of management to implement security measures sufficient to protect employees against potential hazards and the work environment many unsafe acts committed by the workers themselves. As a result, the study concluded that the key steps that need to be done to reduce accidents on-the-job-first web site promotion of safety management in the implementation of the work environment of pre-service education and training for employees and third emphasis on improving management (and support) appropriate security procedures.

Title: Addressing construction worker safety in the design phase designing for construction worker safety

J.Gambatese and J.Hinze, (volume 8, 1999, pages 643-649). From article addressing construction worker safety in the design phase designing for construction worker safety in the design phase designing for construction worker safety facility designers can positively influence construction site safety by integrating safety considerations in the design process. Despite their potential influence on safety have been documented, designers often limit their lack of knowledge and safety of workers involved in construction. This research effort involves the accumulation of proposals to improve the safety of construction workers, while the level designs. Using this proposed design, tool design has been developed to assist designers in identifying project-specific safety hazards and provide best practices to eliminate the hazard. Despite the voluntary use of design in the United States, this is one source of power that can be used by designers to fulfill their duties as required by the Design and Construction Management. Regulations in the UK.

Title 1:Heavy equipment and truck-related deaths on excavation work sites

From journal of safety Research, volume 37, issue 5, 2006, pages 511-517. The research note of Michael McCann finds that heavy equipment and truck is related deaths on excavation work sites. Refer to the article, fatality construction industry data for two-digit Bls Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) Code 15, 16, and 17 to 11 years in 1992 and 2002 have been identified in The CFOI database. The resulting data is held Microsoft Access 2000 database. Deaths related to the SIC code 1794 (Excavation Work) is select all records identified by the industry code. A Total 481 records have been identified. In particular rely on narration and the source code for each case, the total number of 253 heavy equipment and truck-related deaths on construction sites identified. Deaths that occur during transport or send from a construction site excluded (n = 90). Weight equipment in this research include the bulldozer, backhoes, excavating equipment, construction equipment such as trucks, including dump trucks, semi-trailer, tractor trailer, and so on. This term is used in vehicles for paper means good truck or heavy equipment. Based on CFOI narration, workers are losing classified in the following categories based on their place lost. For example are vehicle operators, employees walking, workers vehicle maintenance and others. Based on the narration and code incident, the cause of death is classified into the following categories of rollovers; the vehicle is hit, hit objects, trapped, and others. In addition, it is likely that vehicle operators are also less skilled in handling the vehicle. This is because, in a matter of experience is very important.

Title 2:An evaluation of scaffold safety at construction sites

From Journal of Safety Research 35 (2004) 141– 150. The research note of Kopl M. Halperin, Michael McCann finds that An evaluation of scaffold safety at construction sites. Refer to the article, Construct revealed the cause of death was dropped from the top down.(Center to Protect Workers’ Rights, 2002; National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health [NIOSH], 2000). The second cause is the fall from scaffolding. Averaging 52 deaths per year (18% of all falls). There are other reviews by Advanced Technologies and Laboratories (ATL) International for NIOSH (ATL International, 2002) shows 12 studies on scaffold safety factors. (Faergemann & Larsen, 2000; Hinze & Russell, 1995; Holden, 2002; International Union of Operating Engineers National HazMat Program, 2001; Kreisfeld & Bordeaux, 1997; Lipscomb et al., 2000; Scaffold Industry Association, 1979; Anyhow, which involved field research to examine what factors associated with good scaffolding.A study to assess the level of safety in the use of scaffolding in the eastern United States, and various other construction. 113 built scaffolding revealed visited in nine cities in the eastern United States between April 2001 and February 2002. In the study, one can conclude that it is supported by scaffolding for the land.

Title 3: Why operatives engage in unsafe work behavior: Investigating factors on construction sites

In this article, which discussed the matter on the workers, why construction workers are still not safe in doing their work. Interviews were made in China over workers who are victims of accidents. Among the information that they are accidents caused by individuals themselves. This is because there is no awareness. They are not concerned about security at the site construction. Interview with a rich database that helps answer the question why the employee is not work safe. To identify the themes that emerged during data analysis grounded theory approach (Corbin and Strauss, 1990) adopted as useful in developing evidence and explanations context based (Orlikowski, 1993). Specifically related to cutting conversation identified common elements that are placed under a separate theme. Details of all accidents reported by the seven cooperatives mentioned. Reflect individual situations where they do not secure manner. The main cause of the accident was reported as inadequate controls, inadequate training, inadequate planning, employee errors, and accidents are beyond our control. It is important to show that different factors are not disclosed whether the respondent has not played the same role in shaping the behavior of security.
