The key role in safety management is to identify any possible hazard before it occurs by identifying any possible risk factors which are critical to risk assessment. It is well known that falsework (temporary facilities) in construction projects is fundamentally important. This planning/assessment process is considered to be tedious and requires a lot of attention due to the following reasons: firstly, the installation and dismantling of those facilities are one of the high risk activities in the job sites. Secondly, temporary facilities are generally not clearly delineated on the building drawings. Therefore, it is our strong belief that safety tools have to be simple and convenient enough for the jobsite people to manage them easily and be flexible for any occasions to be occurred at various degrees. In order to develop a safety identification system of temporary facilities, this research utilizes the BIM technology in retrieving important information by importing data from BIM models and use it in the safety planning stage.

Addis Ababa, the capital of Ethiopia, has been lacking an adequate road network to ensure community access to social, political, and economic resources and to facilitate economic development. The road network coverage was about 22.5% in 2022, which is below the minimum international standard of 25%. To improve accessibility and mobility, the Addis Ababa City Roads Authority(AACRA) has engaged its own force crew (contractor), as well as local and foreign road contractors, in the construction of urban roads. However, these road construction projects are rarely completed within the estimated time and cost, along with a variety of other issues that also need to be addressed. This study aims to explore the application of lean construction for improving the performance of urban road construction projects in Addis Ababa City. A survey of road construction stakeholders was carried out to evaluate their perspectives on the importance of project performance indicators, with the goal of identifying key factors affecting road construction project performance. First, a list of performance indicators was prepared based on a review of lean construction literature, and a total of 38 identified factors were grouped into six performance indicator categories. Cross-tabulation analysis of the stakeholder perspectives was then carried out, and it was found that the indicators that affect the performance of urban road infrastructure projects (in descending order of importance) were: time, quality, cost, risk, safety, and sustainability. Through this analysis it was concluded that right-of-way issues, delay to finish, inflation, contractor capacity, and scope change with change order are also major factors that affect the performance of urban roads construction projects. Clarification of these factors will provide AACRA with useful information on what aspects of lean construction should be prioritized when evaluating future construction projects.

건설사업관리자는 사업을 진행하기 전에 사업의 실패 및 예측하지 못한 위험 발생 가능성에 대비한 공사예비비를 항상 고려해야 한다. 공사예비비를 충분히 이해하지 않고 판단을 내리게 되면 리스크로 인한 총공사비에서의 초과 비용이 누적되어 향후 사업진행에 지장을 줄 수도 있기 때문이다. 그러나 공사예비비를 사업초기부터 고려한다면, 그 사업의 실행 여부를 결정할 시점에서 여러 가지 리스크에 충분히 대비할 수 있다. 그럼에도 불구하고 국내 건설사업에서 실제로 공사예비비를 사업투자나 분석에 반영하고 있는 경우는 적으며, 공사예비비를 정당하게 평가할 수 있는 프로세스 역시 부재하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건설사업에서 리스크를 고려한 총공사비가 수립될 수 있도록 공사비 증감요인을 분류하고, 적정 공사예비비의 산정을 보장하기 위해 회귀분석을 통한 공사예비비 산정 프로세스를 제시한다.

최근 건설 프로젝트 규모의 대형화, 복잡화로 인해 관리기술의 난이도가 상승하고 있으며, 이에 따른 리스크도 함께 증가하고 있어 프로젝트 관리기술 향상에 대한 필요성이 증가하고 있다. 이 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 건설공사에서 우선적으로 건설사업관리(Construction Management)제도를 도입하였으나 국내 건설 산업의 경우 업역별 분리발주가 이루어지고 있어 프로젝트 전반에 걸쳐 건설사업관리제도의 기능이 제대로 작동되지 않고 있는 실정이다. 이 같은 부분적 사업관리제도의 운영은 향후 스마트그리드, 인텔리전트 빌딩 등과 같은 융 복합화 사업에 있어 많은 제약을 받을 수 있다. 국내 건설 프로젝트 관리기술의 향상을 위해서는 현 사업관리제도의 이질성을 극복할 수 있는 업역별 사업관리기술 역량을 확보하고, 협업 능력 저해 요소를 발견하여 이를 해결해야 한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 IPA모델을 활용하여 건설 전기공사의 사업관리제도 업무역량 차이를 분석하고, 프로젝트의 효율적인 운영을 위한 전기공사 사업관리제도 도입 방안을 모색하고자 한다.

Modular building is a fast-growing construction method, mainly due to its ability to drastically reduce the amount of time it takes to construct a building and produce higher-quality buildings at a more consistent rate. However, while modular construction is relatively safer than traditional construction methods, workers are still exposed to hazards that lead to injuries and fatalities, and these hazards could be controlled using emerging smart technologies. Currently, limited information is available at the intersection of modular construction, safety risk, and smart safety technologies. This paper aims to investigate what aspects of modular construction are most dangerous for its workers, highlight specific risks in its processes, and propose ways to utilize smart technologies to mitigate these safety risks. Findings from the archival analysis of accident reports in Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Fatality and Catastrophe Investigation Summaries indicate that 114 significant injuries were reported between 2002 and 2021, of which 67 were fatalities. About 72% of fatalities occurred during the installation phase, while 57% were caused by crushing and 85% of crash-related incidents were caused by jack failure/slippage. IoT-enabled wearable sensing devices, computer vision, smart safety harness, and Augment and Virtual Reality were identified as potential solutions for mitigating identified safety risks. The present study contributes to knowledge by identifying important safety trends, critical safety risk factors and proposing practical emerging methods for controlling these risks.

Background: Construction industry is among the most hazardous industries, and needs a comprehensive and simple-to-administer tool to continuously assess and promote its health and safety performance. Methods: Through the study of various standard systems (mainly Health, Safety, and Environment Management System; Occupational Health and Safety Assessment Series 180001; and British Standard, occupational health and safety management systems-Guide 8800), seven main elements were determined for the desired framework, and then, by reviewing literature, factors affecting these main elements were determined. The relative importance of each element and its related factors was calculated at organizational and project levels. The provided framework was then implemented in three construction companies, and results were compared together. Results: The results of the study show that the relative importance of the main elements and their related factors differ between organizational and project levels: leadership and commitment are the most important elements at the organization level, whereas risk assessment and management are most important at the project level. Conclusion: The present study demonstrated that the framework is easy to administer, and by interpreting the results, the main factors leading to the present condition of companies can be determined.

Many construction projects involve a plethora of safety-related problems that can cause loss of productivity, diminished revenue, time overruns, and legal challenges. Incorporating data collection and analytics methods can help overcome the root causes of many such problems. However, in a dynamic construction workplace collecting data from a large number of resources is not a trivial task and can be costly, while many contractors lack the motivation to incorporate technology in their activities. In this research, an Android-based mobile application, Preemptive Construction Site Safety (PCS2) is developed and tested for real-time location tracking, trajectory prediction, and prevention of potential collisions between workers and site hazards. PCS2 uses ubiquitous mobile technology (smartphones) for positional data collection, and a robust trajectory prediction technique that couples hidden Markov model (HMM) with risk-taking behavior modeling. The effectiveness of PCS2 is evaluated in field experiments where impending collisions are predicted and safety alerts are generated with enough lead time for the user. With further improvement in interface design and underlying mathematical models, PCS2 will have practical benefits in large scale multi-agent construction worksites by significantly reducing the likelihood of proximity-related accidents between workers and equipment.

The construction of bored tunnels in soft ground inevitably causes ground movements. In the urban environment these may be of particular significance, because of their influence on buildings, other tunnels and services. The prediction of ground movements and the assessment of the potential effects on the structures is therefore an essential aspect of planning, design and construction of a tunnelling project in the urban environment. In this study, to minimize the effect of tunnelling-Induced ground movements on the adjacent structures, a system for tile settlement risk management was developed. The GIS based risk assessment system for adjacent structures developed in this study consists of several modules such as building information module, settlement evaluation module, potential risk assessment module for adjacent structures, and analysis module for monitoring data. This system focuses on controlling and managing construction processes that may lead to settlement In the surrounding buildings and can contribute to producing the optimum technical and economic design.
