Abstract

The value of construction works in the country has increased over the last five years, as has the frequency of workplace accidents, which increases the consideration of safety issues in the industry, including the listed private construction firm. Over the last three years, its revenue growth has been countered by a decline in the total number of workplace accidents, notwithstanding an increase in the number of significant workplace accidents. Subcontractors were engaged in around 75% of the company’s workplace accidents, with Unsafe Behaviour accounting for more than 60% of the fundamental causes and Unsafe Action accounting for 68% of workplace accidents in 2019. It provides a significant motivation to begin implementing Behaviour Based Safety using the DO-IT (Define-Observe-Intervene-Test) strategy, including in-depth interviews, systematic self-assessment questionnaires, and statistical tests. The findings deal with Safety Key Behaviour (SKB) criteria in 17 areas of the complete construction activity by developing at-risk behaviour that leads to unsafe action by the workers, classified into three circles of processes: execution, supervision, and planning/management. This study will also contribute to discussing reciprocal obligations between companies and subcontractors in prioritizing safety behaviour improvement to assist policymakers in improving safety performance in the sector. It will enable the company and subcontractors to focus on developing and deepening the workers’ SKB according to the absolute priority, efficiently and effectively. In the end, it will significantly reduce the accident rate and increasing their reputation as well as their competitive advantage in the construction industry.
