Abstract

Safety standards of construction companies could be improved by continuous monitoring and assessing their safety performance. Despite various methods of Safety Performance Evaluation (SPE) have been proposed, bias or errors can be made by neglecting the inter-relationships among internal variables in SPE. To address it, this paper proposes a synergy and symbiosis based nonlinear methodology to evaluate safety performance of construction companies. A real time SPE system was developed to dynamically monitor and assess the safety performance of construction companies and applied to Wuhan Metro construction sites as a case study. Through this analytical framework, dynamic SPE scores provide good reference to the owner timely, which makes targeted safety control as a parallel activity to the construction rather than an afterthought Meanwhile it empowers in real time the owners within their decision-making towards a sustainable enterprise orientation. Importantly, construction companies must put more emphasis on safety for improvement in their prestige and future development.
