| Abstract |
Occupational safety and health management cost (OSHMC) is helpful for managing safety in construction sites. However, OSHMC has been criticized for various aspects, including the fact that OSHMC cannot reflect features of individual constructions when counting up and executing OSHMC. This study proposes the approach to distribute OSHMC by project size and activity type with the consideration of accident rates for various activities. Using 1,046 data obtained from Construction Safety Management Integrated Information (CSI), this study calculated the relative risk factors for each activity. The distribution of OSHMC is proposed based on the risk factors. The results were validated by industry expert interviews. The distribution proposed in this study will help construction managers establish and execute OSHMC usage plan effectively. |
