Sinclair-Williams, M. J. M. "Disability and safety management systems in TQM and non-TQM organisations." Thesis, University of Surrey, 1998. http://epubs.surrey.ac.uk/844353/.
Full textAbstract:
Historically society has, at various periods in time, protected the health, safety and welfare of those most disadvantaged by using socially based collective mechanisms. Within the United Kingdom the model used to achieve this collective protection has developed from proscription, under the Factories Acts, to a more self-regulatory and risk based approach advocated by Lord Roben's under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974 and its relevant statutory provisions. The body tasked with providing examples of good practice and regulating the provisions of the Act, The Health and Safety Executive, advocate a management-led model using the principles of total quality management (TQM). This model is one which purports to focus on a systematic and empowered approach by involving all staff in the evaluation and reduction of systematic error within processes throughout the whole organisation. It can be argued that the contemporary disadvantaged are no longer the children of the industrial revolution but are those members of society who seek employment yet are handicapped by society through disability or impairment- the paradigm of disability. This study sought to explore this paradigm of disability and TQM within the context of two contrasting industrial sectors - the engineering and retail sectors. The study sought to break new ground by exploring whether the TQM model, which advocates system totality, reduction in variation and continuous improvement as fundamental principles, does in fact provide improved cognitive adequacy (a construct of institutional responsibility, communication and problem resolution) within the paradigm of disability. The study used a triangulation methodology to collect qualitative data at the individual and institutional level. This involved a number of phases comprising group discussions, focus groups and self-completed questionnaires (n=1135) by economically active disabled, impaired and handicapped individuals and at the organisational level case study analysis (n=8) and self-completed questionnaires (n=2181) by institutional key players. Although the construct of disability is multifaceted, the study concluded that at the individual level a number of factors were perceived to be ranked higher and as such more important to disabled employees in maintaining their health, safety and welfare. These were further classified into 'software' and 'hardware' domains of a safety management system with institutional social support being most important. Social support comprised support, communication and trust and was perceived to be low at the organisational level. At the institutional or organisational level social support can be measured using the theory of cognitive adequacy comprising responsibility, communication and problem resolution. When measured at the organisational level, via the policy domain, cognitive adequacy was once more concluded to be low or absent. These results applied equally to individuals within both the retail and engineering sectors. The study also concluded that, at the organisational level, safety systems which can be categorised as formal did not exist to meet the needs of the disabled within the organisations studied. This was particularly evident at the policy domain level where it was noted that few companies had included provisions for the allocation of specifically defined responsibility and control. However there existed many informal sub-systems which had developed through group dynamics and personal interrelations. In many cases those tasked with operational responsibility were unaware of such sub-systems. There also existed many barriers within the disability paradigm to both the duty holder and disabled employees meeting specific duties under the Health and Safety at Work etc. Act 1974. In particular communication, both verbal and non-verbal, presented the highest ranked barrier to organisations achieving a high cognitive adequacy condition. Each construct was measured using contingency tables and log-linear analysis to determine any association between TQM and non-TQM organisations for the paradigm of disability. Significant differences in data acquisition, performance measurement and problem resolution existed between TQM and Non-TQM organisations. However in relation to the paradigm of disability, the study concluded that the data supported the null hypothesis that, in the context of the paradigm of disability, no significant differences were exhibited between the safety management systems (SMS) of organisations who had adopted TQM and those that had not. Holistically this study has provided a deeper understanding of the complexity of the disabled paradigm and safety provisions at work.

Full textAbstract:
The maritime industry is vital to the Swedish trade and economy. Shipping has less environmental impact per ton transported goods than other transport modes. Furthermore, ships use the sea as their roads, thus not requiring additional impact on the environment in the form of building roads or tracks to be able to transport goods or people. The aim of this thesis is to identify the characteristics of the safety management approach and safety management systems (SMS) in five Swedish companies operating in the Swedish shipping industry. It furthermore explores whether a new approach to safety management such as Safety II and resilience engineering can offer a complementary view to the current safety management. The study design of this thesis has been a multiple case study. A literature review has been performed to gain insights into the domain and safety management in the domain in specific. Data has been gathered through semi-structured interviews with 10 respondents working within shipping or crew management companies. Five of the respondents work ashore with safety management and five of the respondents work onboard as Chief Officers or Chief Engineer. Chief Officers as well as Chief Engineers have responsibilities regarding safety for their respective department and thus have management positions within the operations. The results show that the participating companies’ safety management and SMSs are of the reactive kind. There is furthermore a gap between work as imagined, WAI, and work as done, WAD, that affects the suitability of the routines, procedures and equipment used in operations. Complexity of a system is also a contributing factor when it comes to safety management, and in the participating companies, aspects regarding complexity were identified at a regulatory, organisational and operational level. This affects the possibility to create routines and procedures that correspond to the demands, variations and situations encountered in operations. It is suggested in this thesis that a Safety II approach to safety management, along with the use of resilience engineering to develop and enhance the domain’s adaptability, can serve as a complement to the current safety management approach. Being able to adapt, respond and manage various unforeseen situations is a way of ensuring safety in operations even in complex socio-technical systems. The resilience assessment grid, RAG, is suggested as a tool to be developed to be usable in the participating companies. The RAG could serve as a tool to taper the gap between WAI and WAD, as well as to provide input to the development of indicators other than accidents for improving safety. Furthermore, it could also facilitate learning from everyday operations and what is going well – the everyday successes in everyday execution of tasks involved in operations.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Cold is a very common physical risk factor in workplaces in circumpolar regions. Cold has many detrimental effects on human health and performance, and on the safety, quality and productivity of work. In this study a systematic general Cold Risk Management Model was developed, applied and evaluated. The model can be integrated in a company’s or an organization’s occupational safety, health, environment and quality (SHEQ) management systems and practices in workplaces. The Cold Risk Management Model and methods were later included in ISO 15743 Ergonomics of the thermal environment – Cold workplaces – Risk assessment and management. The Cold Risk Management Model and methods were applied in two case company’s SHEQ systems and practices in the fields of construction and maritime administration and services. Based on the case studies, the concrete cold risk management activities and the personnel training campaign resulted in immediate positive results and improved attitudes towards further development. At the national level, working in the cold was estimated to increase personnel costs in the construction industry annually by €50M, which is 3% of the industry’s annual personnel costs. This study also showed that the Cold Risk Management Model and methods are profitable. In the case construction company, the savings achieved by cold risk management activities at a construction site were 2.5 time the costs of those activities. A follow-up study in the case company in the field of maritime administration and services showed that implementation and dissemination of the Cold Risk Management Model and methods require systematic work also after the initial development process. The implementation process could and should be enhanced by early establishment of organization-wide guidelines, visible concrete actions, a training campaign and use of necessary external experts. This study also presents a Safety Management Matrix Model for analyzing development and implementation activities during the process time spanTiivistelmä Kylmä on yksi yleisimmistä työympäristön riskitekijöistä pohjoisissa oloissamme. Kylmästä aiheutuu haittaa ihmisen toimintakyvylle ja terveydelle sekä työn turvallisuudelle, laadulle ja tuottavuudelle. Tässä väitöstutkimuksessa kehitettiin systemaattinen kylmäriskien hallintamalli osaksi yrityksen työterveys- ja työturvallisuus-, ympäristö- ja laatujohtamisjärjestelmiä (SHEQ). Kehitetty kylmäriskien hallintamalli menetelmineen on nykyisin osa standardia ”SFS-EN ISO 15743 Lämpöolojen ergonomia. Kylmät työpaikat. riskin arviointi ja hallinta”. Kylmäriskien hallintamallia ja sen menetelmiä sovellettiin ja edelleen kehitettiin kahdessa tapausyrityksessä rakennusalalla sekä merenkulun tukipalveluissa. Konkreettisista kehittämistoimenpiteistä ja henkilöstön koulutuksesta koettiin tapausyrityksissä saadun välitöntä hyötyä, ja ne johtivat positiivisiin asenteisiin jatkokehittämistyötä kohtaan. Tutkimuksessa arvioitiin kylmätyön myös lisäävän rakennusalan henkilöstökustannuksia vuosittain 50 miljoonalla eurolla, mikä oli 3 % alan vuotuisista palkkakustannuksista. Tapaustutkimuksen avulla osoitettiin, että kylmänhaittojen hallinta on kannattavaa. 20 henkilön rakennustyömaalla kylmänhaittojen hallinnalla saavutettavat säästöt olivat 2,5-kertaiset toimenpiteistä aiheutuneisiin kuluihin verrattuina. Merenkulun tukipalvelujen alalla toimivassa tapausyrityksessä tehdyn seurantatutkimuksen mukaan kylmäriskien hallintamallin käyttöönotto ja levittäminen yrityksessä vaatii kuitenkin aikaa ja systemaattista työtä. Mallin käyttöönottoa ja levittämistä voidaan tutkimuksen perusteella nopeuttaa kehittämistyön näkyvyydellä ja konkreettisuudella, koulutuksella, organisaatiotasoisten ohjeiden laatimisella aikaisessa vaiheessa sekä erityisesti asiantuntijatuen saatavuudella koko implementointivaiheen ajan. Tutkimuksessa syntyi myös turvallisuusjohtamismatriisi työkaluksi kehittämistyön suunnitteluun ja arviointiin

Full textAbstract:
Labor protection, that is prevention of occupational disease and reducing the frequency of accident, has always been a matter of major concern of mining industry. Management and the government should promote and maintain high safety standards through some measures and tools to reduce frequency of accidents and occupational diseases.
This thesis describes the development of a national occupational health and safety management tool that is composed of educational, statistical and database interfaces for mine safety and health administration.
The detailed analysis of an accident requires knowledge of many parameters such as location, time, type, cost of the accident, victim information, nature of injury, result of the accident etc. that can be obtained from a standard coded accident report form. So, database interface of the management tool is developed with this sense to realize collecting accident data in a nationally used format to produce a common safety reporting system.
Prepared database maintains user-friendly environment on Internet to submit accident information. Dynamic structure and ease of use of the developed database allow administered user to expand it without detailed computer programming knowledge. This was achieved by prepared modules to change or register new data fields within the database.
Created database is also secure since only gives data input access rights to registered users. Database administrator is able to create registered users. Registered users could be safety engineer or manager of a mine who is responsible from the submission of data to the ministry of labor. So, standard and secure accident data collected rapidly through Internet connection.
The other feature of the database is that, it is open to all people to query accidents with many aspects.
Prepared management tool also includes educational interface, content of which can also be enlarged, as the new ideas, information or solutions for accidents are improved. This information is also open to all people since educating workers and managers about accidents and prevention techniques can improve working conditions and increase awareness.
Knowing the fact that submitted accident data is still collected in hard copies in folders, the need for a kind of management tool, which is completed in this study, is obvious. Application of this kind of management tool will be able to prevent the collection of accident data in dusty shelves and share the accident data information with all people who are interested in with this subject.

Full textAbstract:
This thesis contains the specific description of Group Design Project (GDP) and
Individual Research Project (IRP) that are undertaken by the author and form
part of the degree of Master of Science.
The target of GDP is to develop a novel and unique commercial flying wing
aircraft titled FW-11. FW-11 is a three-year collaborative civil aircraft project
between Aviation Industry Corporation of China (AVIC) and Cranfield University.
According to the market analysis result conducted by the author, 250 seats
capacity and 7500 nautical miles were chosen as the design targets.
The IRP is the further study of GDP, which is to enhance the competitive
capability by deploying prognostics and health management (PHM) technology
to the fuel system of FW-11. As a novel and brand-new technology, PHM
enables the real-time transformation of system status data into alert and
maintenance information during all ground or flight operating phases to improve
the aircraft reliability and operating costs. Aircraft fuel system has a great
impact on flight safety. Therefore, the development of fuel system PHM concept
is necessary.
This thesis began with an investigation of PHM, then a safety and reliability
analysis of fuel system was conducted by using FHA, FMEA and FTA.
According to these analyses, fuel temperature diagnosis and prognosis were
chosen as a case study to improve the reliability and safety of FW-11. The PHM
architecture of fuel temperature had been established. A fuel temperature
prediction model was also introduced in this thesis.

Full textAbstract:
Home care nurses (HCNs) have reported a high rate of exposure to work-related injuries (WRIs). Nurses are challenged by the multidimensional problems associated with home care safety. These contextual risk factors increase the physical and social health problems of health care workers and of community suffering as a whole. This quantitative, cross-sectional study was designed to examine the relationship between the organization-related factors (ORFs) and the environment-related factors (ERFs) and their influences on safety behaviors (SBs) and the WRIs of HCNs. The PRECEDE framework was used to guide the study. Self-reported data were obtained from 74 home health care (HHC) nurses using the Safety Home Care Nursing questionnaire. A linear regression model was applied to determine the nature of the association between the independent variables and dependents variables. Findings showed the ORFs demonstrate a stronger effect on the SBs than the impact of the ERFs. The management commitment and the home-based care significantly affected the SBs. The supervisory support and safety access to a client's home were decreasing the WRIs. Therefore, the integration of efforts: The management and leadership of the health organization, the health care providers, and the clients’ family would improve safety of HHC. This study is expected to help develop safety strategies for home care and thus attempt to minimize WRIs among HCNs. Nurses free of injuries are able to provide a quality of care and improve patients’ health outcomes that in turn have an effect on reducing community suffering and financial costs.

O presente trabalho tem como objetivo geral analisar o desempenho da gestão de Segurança e Saúde do Trabalho – SST de uma empresa de construção civil, quantificando os indicadores de controle que relaciona os recursos utilizados ao desempenho em saúde e segurança do trabalho, contribuindo para a valorização da empresa e o aumento da qualidade de vida dos seus funcionários. No ambiente de trabalho, nos diversos segmentos industriais e de produção, o trabalhador pode estar exposto a agentes físicos, químicos, mecânicos e biológicos, todavia, na Construção Civil, esta exposição apresenta-se, na maioria das vezes, em maior grau em relação aos demais segmentos industriais quanto aos riscos ocupacionais, contribuindo assim num elevado índice de acidentes de trabalho, decorrentes de condições inseguras no meio ambiente de trabalho ou ainda porque estes não possuem a correta orientação acerca do cumprimento das normas de Prevenção de Acidentes. Neste contexto, quando se investe, técnica e financeiramente, em segurança do trabalho, uma empresa, além estar cumprindo com a legislação trabalhista vigente, estará colocando em prática as questões preconizadas pelos programas de segurança exigidos por lei, incitando nos trabalhadores uma postura preventiva no local de trabalho, atentos aos riscos ocupacionais a que estão expostos, além do respeito às normas de segurança, aumentando assim a sua produtividade e, consequentemente, o retorno financeiro para as empresas. Assim sendo, a fim de subsidiar a temática proposta pela presente dissertação, de caráter qualitativo, exploratório e descritivo, inicialmente far-se-á Revisão de Literatura a partir de uma Pesquisa Bibliográfica realizada em diversas publicações sobre o assunto, a fim de discorrer sobre as questões elencadas nos objetivos específicos. Em seguida, apresenta-se um estudo de caso de uma construtora, sendo analisados os dados documentais referentes à gestão de SST. Acrescenta-se ainda à pesquisa, a aplicação de questionários para verificação dos procedimentos de SST realizado com a direção e coordenação de segurança e saúde do trabalho da construtora, concluindo que as ações de SST desenvolvidas pela construtora correspondem à implementação dos requisitos propostos pela OHSAS 18001:2007. Por fim, conclui-se que na avaliação do desempenho do SST da empresa, embasados nas principais diretrizes: OIT, Nacionais e específicas sobre o SGSST, verificou-se o cumprimento da mesma quanto aos requisitos estabelecidos pela OHSAS 18001:2007.
This work has as main objective to analyze the performance of Safety and Occupational Health management - OSH a construction company, quantifying the control indicators that list the resources used to performance in health and safety, contributing to the promotion of the company and increasing the quality of life of its employees. On the desktop, in the various industrial and production segments, the worker may be exposed to physical, chemical, mechanical and biological, however, in Construction, this exhibition presents, for the most part, to a greater degree relative the other industrial segments as occupational hazards, thus contributing to a high rate of accidents resulting from unsafe conditions in the work environment or because they do not have the right guidance about compliance with accident prevention regulations. In this context, when investing, technically and financially, in safety, a company, be beyond complying with current labor legislation, will be putting into practice the issues advocated by the security programs required by law, urging the workers a preventive stance in workplace, aware of the occupational hazards they are exposed to and the respect to safety standards, thus increasing their productivity and consequently the financial return for business. Therefore, in order to support the proposed theme for this thesis, qualitative, exploratory and descriptive, initially far shall be Literature Review from a bibliographical research conducted in several publications on the subject in order to discuss the issues listed in the specific objectives. Then presents a case study of a construction company, and analyzed the documentary evidence relating to OSH management. It adds up to research further the application of questionnaires to verify the OSH procedures performed with the direction and coordination of health and safety of the construction work, concluding that OSH actions developed by the construction correspond to the implementation of the requirements proposed by the OHSAS 18001: 2007. Finally, it is concluded that the assessment of the company's OSH performance, based on the main guidelines: ILO, national and specific about the HSMS, it was the fulfillment of the same as the requirements of the OHSAS 18001: 2007.

Full textAbstract:
The middle manager situation is sometimes squeezed between requirements from different parties at the same time as they are crucial for the development of the organization. Masters, chief engineers and managers in the catering department onboard are middle managers squeezed between the office requirements and the working conditions of their crew. The purpose of this study was to look into the middle managers conditions with focus on the work for good working environment onboard ships in the commercial shipping industry. A study was made consisting of two main parts, first a literature review and secondly focus group interviews. The literature review looked for findings about the middle managers work for occupational health and safety, which were mostly about industries and organisations ashore. These findings were tested in the focus groups in order to find out if they applied also for the commercial shipping industry and if there are any special things to consider there. The focus group members were of both genders, from different management positions and companies within the Swedish commercial shipping industry. So what recommendations can be made in order to improve the middle managers work for a good working environment or occupational health and safety (OHS)? Recommendations are given about competence, staff engagement, policies, shared leadership and administrative workload. Three findings are suggested for further research, shared leadership, administrative workload and client pressure. It is interesting that the type of shared leadership that are found onboard seems to be rather unique for the commercial shipping industry.

BACKGROUND: Formalized risk management (RM) is an internationally accepted process for reducing hazards in the workplace, with defined steps including hazard scoping, risk assessment, and implementation of controls, all within an iterative process. While required for all industry in the European Union and widely used elsewhere, the United States maintains a compliance-based regulatory structure, rather than one based on systematic, risk-based methodologies. Firefighting is a hazardous profession, with high injury, illness, and fatality rates compared with other occupations, and implementation of RM programs has the potential to greatly improve firefighter safety and health; however, no descriptions of RM implementation are in the peer-reviewed literature for the North American fire service. METHODS: In this paper we describe the steps used to design and implement the RM process in a moderately-sized fire department, with particular focus on prioritizing and managing injury hazards during patient transport, fireground, and physical exercise procedures. Hazard scoping and formalized risk assessments are described, in addition to the identification of participatory-led injury control strategies. Process evaluation methods were conducted to primarily assess the feasibility of voluntarily instituting the RM approach within the fire service setting. RESULTS: The RM process was well accepted by the fire department and led to development of 45 hazard specific-interventions. Qualitative data documenting the implementation of the RM process revealed that participants emphasized the: value of the RM process, especially the participatory bottom-up approach; usefulness of the RM process for breaking down tasks to identify potential risks; and potential of RM for reducing firefighter injury. CONCLUSIONS: As implemented, this risk-based approach used to identify and manage occupational hazards and risks was successful and is deemed feasible for U.S. (and other) fire services. While several barriers and challenges do exist in the implementation of any intervention such as this, recommendations for adopting the process are provided. Additional work will be performed to determine the effectiveness of select controls strategies that were implemented; however participants throughout the organizational structure perceived the RM process to be of high utility while researchers also found the process improved the awareness and engagement in actively enhancing worker safety and health.

Full textAbstract:
The purpose of this study was to explore Zohar’s Multi-Climate Framework for Occupational Safety to determine the effects of staff nurse perceptions of safety priorities in their organization (safety climate) and their work ownership climate (Magnet Hospital designation) on safety citizenship behaviors viewed as in role or extra role. Safety citizenship behaviors are described as behaviors that go beyond the job description to ensure safety. Participants from a convenience sample of three Magnet designated community hospitals in New England completed three scales (Zohar’s Safety Climate Questionnaire, Essentials of Magnetism II and the Safety Citizenship Role Definitions Scale) representing the study variables via an online survey platform. Multivariate analysis of covariance informed the results. Findings include a positive unadjusted relationship between safety climate and work ownership climate (rs=.492, pF (1, 86) = 8.4, p=.005, N=92), controlling for work ownership climate and hospital. Implications include support for a continued focus on better understanding the importance of a positive nursing work environment, a characteristic shared by Magnet designated hospitals, on the presence of safety citizenship behaviors in the acute care environment. A professional work environment should be considered as an important factor in reducing errors in the acute care setting.

Organisational and individual Health and Safety (H&S) competence is an essential element to the successful completion of a construction project in a safe way and without hazards to the health of all workforce. Under the Construction (Design and Management) (CDM) Regulations 2007, the client should take reasonable steps to ensure that the appointed duty-holders and engaged people are H&S competent to design, build or co-ordinate the project. Although the CDM Regulations 2007 and its Approved Code of Practice (ACoP) have established ‘Core Criteria’ to guide the client to assess duty-holders’ H&S competence in the outset of a project, it is still difficult for most inexperienced clients to discharge the duty of making the key decisions in H&S competence assessment. In order to help the client implement H&S competence assessment, it is important to develop a tool that can effectively and efficiently support the client to make reasonable decisions in the selection of H&S competent duty-holders. According to the findings of the case study of existing formal H&S competence assessment schemes undertaken as part of this work, H&S competence assessment was characterised as a subjective, qualitative and non-linear regulation-compliance checking process. In addition, the case study helped identify the latent shortcomings in the ‘Core Critiera’ and the operational drawbacks in current practice of implementing H&S competence assessment. Based on a review of Information Technology (I.T.) and Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) applications in construction, Knowledge-Based System (KBS) is identified as being a suitable tool to support decision-making in H&S competence assessment, mainly due to its appropriateness to solve regulation-compliance checking problems and support subjective and qualitative decision-making process. Following a decision-making framework for H&S competence assessment, a KBS decision-support model was developed, applying three mechanisms to support the reasonable decision-making for H&S competence assessment. In order to develop an appropriate and practical KBS for H&S competence assessment, a textual knowledge base was developed, specifying the minimum satisfaction standards and a rating indicator system for ‘Core Criteria’. As a result, an online KBS was developed using Java Server Pages (JSP) technology and MySQL. The online KBS applied the textual knowledge base to support the screen, rating, ranking and reporting decision-supporting mechanisms. Simultaneously, the case inquiry and expert inquiry facilities were also included in the KBS for effective decision-making. Finally, construction experts and practitioners in H&S management evaluated the validity and usability of the KBS through a questionnaire survey. The prototype KBS was borne out to be an effective and efficient decision-support tool for H&S competence assessment and have the potential to be applied in practice.

Full textAbstract:
A prominent theme emerging in Occupational Health and Safety (OSH) is the development of management systems. A range of interventions, according to a prescribed route detailed by one of the management systems, can be introduced into an organisation with some expectation of improved OSH performance. This thesis attempts to identify the key influencing factors that may impact upon the process of introducing interventions, (according to B88800: 1996, Guide to Implementing Occupational Health and Safety Management Systems) into an organisation. To help identify these influencing factors a review of possible models from the sphere of Total Quality Management (TQM) was undertaken and the most suitable TQM model selected for development and use in aSH. By anchoring the aSH model's development in the reviewed literature a range ofeare, medium and low level influencing factors were identified. This model was developed in conjunction with the research data generated within the case study organisation (rubber manufacturer) and applied to the organisation. The key finding was that the implementation of an OSH intervention was dependant upon three broad vectors of influence. These are the Incentive to introduce change within an organisation which refers to the drivers or motivators for OSH. Secondly the Ability within the management team to actually implement the changes refers to aspects, amongst others, such as leadership, commitment and perceptions of OSH. Ability is in turn itself influenced by the environment within which change is being introduced. TItis aspect of Receptivity refers to the history of the plant and characteristics of the workforce. Aspects within Receptivity include workforce profile and organisational policies amongst others. It was found that the TQM model selected and developed for an OSH management system intervention did explain the core influencing factors and their impact upon OSH performance. It was found that within the organisation the results that may have been expected from implementation of BS8800:1996 were not realised. The OSH model highlighted that given the organisation's starting point, a poor appreciation of the human factors of OSH, gave little reward for implementation of an OSH management system. In addition it was found that general organisational culture can effectively suffocate any attempts to generate a proactive safety culture.

Health and safety is of the utmost importance for any company or institution to be
successful. There is quite a negative perception regarding the health and safety
of rural hospitals and clinics.
Rural hospitals are most of the time overcrowded due the large amount of
patients that has no medical aid, thus increases the risk for health and safety
issues. Patients sit in long queues for hours to receive medical attention and their
medication and are therefore exposed to all kinds of diseases, which is a high
risk for these patients’s health.
The employees working in these rural areas are also exposed to life-threatening
diseases on a daily basis and have a good chance of being infected. Employees
leave the public sector because of these unsafe working conditions and find
themselves either working in the private sector or may even immigrate to foreign
countries for better and safer working conditions.
During this research done, there were a few shortcomings identified for the
management to improvement on and to ensure a safe working environment.
There are quite a lot of negativities surrounding the patients and employees in
these rural hospitals, because patients get raped by nurses, babies get stolen
from maternity wards, doctors are attacked by patients and much more horrific
incidents happening in these hospitals.
Cultural differences are also a main concern for management, because there are
a lot of different races working together in the same department and not
everyone has the same beliefs and ways in doing tasks. These cultural
differences may lead to clashes amongst employees and result in a negative
working environment. This quantitative research was done in selected rural hospitals, due to cost and
time consumption. Only 80 employees (doctors, nurses and pharmacists)
participated in the research done and the research was not an in-depth research,
but enough evidence was compiled to make the necessary assumptions that all
is not well in the public sector.
With the new National Health Insurance (NHI) to be implemented from 2012,
there may a lot of changes in the rural hospitals for the better. Hospitals all over
the country are being upgraded and the working conditions are being attended to
by the government which may attract more health professional to rural hospitals
and clinics.Thesis (MBA)--North-West University, Potchefstroom Campus, 2012

Full textAbstract:
Lean Six Sigma is a method used to improve the quality and efficiency of processes by reducing variation and eliminating wastes (non-value added activities) in an organisation. The concept of combining the principles and tools of Lean Enterprise and Six Sigma has been discussed in the literature. The majority of Lean Six Sigma applications in private industry have focused primarily on manufacturing applications. The literature has not provided a framework for implementing Lean Six Sigma programmes in non-manufacturing or transactional processes like those in the Entertainment Media industry. The Saudi Broadcasting Corporation (SBC), like many other industries in Saudi Arabia, has high occupational safety risks, such as electric, fire and fall hazards which often occur in the media workplace. These risks are considered very costly and affect productivity and employee morale in general. The main objective of this research is to provide a synergistic approach to integrating occupational health and safety programmes and Lean Six Sigma tools using the DMAIC (Define-Measure-Analyse-Improve-Control) problem-solving method to strengthen and assure the success of safety programmes in the Saudi Broadcasting Corporation (SBC). This research identifies the roadmap (i.e. activities, principles, tools, and important component factors) for applying Lean Six Sigma tools in the media industry. A case study addressing the safety issues that affect employees’ performance within the Saudi Broadcasting Corporation (SBC) TV studio is used to validate work outlined in this research. Furthermore, the Bayesian Belief Networks (BBN) method is used to understand the probability occurrence of safety hazards. The application of the Taguchi Experimental Design method and other Lean Six Sigma tools, such as Cause and Effect diagrams, Pareto principles, 5S, Value Stream map, and Poka-Yoke have been incorporated in to this research. The application of Lean Six Sigma DMAIC problem-solving tools resulted in significant improvement in safety within SBC. The average electrical hazard incident decreased from 2.08 to 0.33, the average fire hazard incident decreased from 1.25 to 0.08, and the average fall hazard incident decreased from 3.42 to 0.17. The research has important implications for the company and its employees, with positive outcomes and feedback reported by top management, the senior technicians, and experts. The research improved the safety by reducing electrical, fire and fall risks. The Safety training sessions are one of the most significant factors that improve their safety awareness. It is observed that Lean Six Sigma problem-solving tools and methods are effective in the Saudi Broadcasting Corporation (SBC).

Full textAbstract:
A healthy working environment has been an area of interest for occupation health providers. There is anticipation that a safe working environment improves patient safety, which is associated with reduction in clinical nurse errors. Issues with medication errors and poor working environment pose a greater risk to patient safety. The aim of this qualitative study was to provide a broad understanding on nurses’ perceptions on the processes that influence a healthy working environment and the impacts of a healthy working environment on patient safety. An interpretive grounded theory methodology was used in this study to evaluate nurses’ perceptions in acute care settings. The study was carried out in a large city of Southern California and the participants consisted of a community-based purposive population of registered nurses (RNs) in a telemetry. A total of 10 participants with three years working experience in surgical units were recruited and tiered scheduled approach was used for the analysis and refinement of interview questions. The participants were all female registered nurses with three years working experience in acute care settings. The majority of the nurses had a bachelor’s degree (44%), masters degree (22%) and 11 % had associate degree. Grounded theory method was used to identify the relevant themes from the interview responses. The transcripts revealed nurses’ perceptions on the process that facilitate a healthy working environment and HWE impacts on patient safety. The findings of the study showed that communication, teamwork and collaboration within healthcare environment are the most important factors for the development of a healthy working environment. The findings also showed the influence of a health care working environment on medication errors. Nurses reported that lack of communication, nurse shortages and micromanagement increases the chances of medical errors. Nurses reported that effective communication with the nurse leaders, managers and patients provide a stress-free working environment that result in a better care for patients. Enough nursing staff s well as teamwork and collaboration also influences patient safety.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract The road freight transport industry as a labour-intensive sector is dependent on the work ability and well-being at work of employees. The majority of the occupational accidents are related to work phases outside the cab. These work phases, which are performed in various different work environments, contain several kinds of ergonomic discomforts. This poses complex challenges for the employers from a safety and productivity point of view. The framework of this thesis is based on the foundations of ergonomics and design science. The main objective was to provide knowledge that can be implemented into the design and management of work systems for local and short haul delivery operations. Material was obtained from two sources. A meta-synthesis was performed to frame holistic management in a human perspective. Furthermore, additional in-depth design knowledge was obtained through participatory ergonomics video analyses on drivers’ work outside the cab. Video analyses resulted in 262 identifications of demanding work situations where ergonomic discomforts and risks of accidents occurred. Sudden over-exertions and strains, falls and slips as well as losing control of work equipment were the most common deviations related to drivers’ work outside the cab and mainly related to physical activities of movement and carrying by hand. The majority of the work situations identified were performed in cargo spaces or elsewhere within the truck structure or at premises and yards that are administered by the customers or other stakeholders. In these environments, drivers tend to perform their work manually or using different types of work equipment. This thesis provides new in-depth knowledge on drivers’ work outside the cab. The results show that different stakeholders can contribute to drivers’ work systems. The knowledge provided by drivers and other stakeholders can be applied to holistic design and management processes at company level. Moreover, the knowledge can also be applied to broader value chain design and management processesTiivistelmä Tieliikenteen tavarankuljetus työvoimavaltaisena toimialana on riippuvainen henkilöstön työkyvystä ja -hyvinvoinnista. Suurin osa tapaturmista liittyy työtehtäviin ohjaamon ulkopuolella. Näitä töitä tehdään hyvin vaihtelevissa työympäristöissä ja niihin työtehtäviin liittyy monenlaisia ergonomisia haittakuormitustekijöitä. Tämä asettaa haasteita niin työsuojelun kuin tuottavuuden näkökulmasta. Väitöskirjan viitekehys pohjautuu ergonomiaan sekä suunnittelutieteeseen. Tavoitteena on tuottaa tietoa, jota voidaan hyödyntää työjärjestelmien suunnittelussa ja johtamisessa erityisesti maaliikenteen jakelukuljetuksissa. Materiaali koostui kahdesta osiosta. Metasynteesillä muodostettiin näkemys kokonaisvaltaisesta johtamisesta ihmisnäkökulmasta. Lisäksi kuljettajat ja sidosryhmien edustajat analysoivat osallistuvan ergonomian keinoin videoaineistoa jakelukuljettajien työstä ohjaamon ulkopuolella. Videoanalyyseissa tunnistettiin yhteensä 262 työtilannetta, jossa esiintyy erilaisia ergonomisia haittakuormitustekijöitä sekä mahdollisia tapaturmariskejä. Äkilliset fyysiset kuormitukset, putoamiset, liukastumiset ja kaatumiset sekä työvälineiden hallinnan menettäminen olivat yleisimpiä tunnistettuja poikkeamia kuljettajan työssä. Pääasiassa nämä liittyivät kuljettajan liikkumiseen sekä erilaisten taakkojen kantamiseen. Valtaosassa (85 %) havainnoista kuljettaja työskenteli ajoneuvon kuormatilassa tai päällirakenteissa tai asiakkaiden tai muiden sidosryhmien hallinnoimissa työympäristöissä. Näissä työympäristöissä kuljettaja työskenteli sekä manuaalisesti käsin että hyödyntäen erilaisia apuvälineitä. Väitöskirja tarjoaa uudenlaista syvällistä tietoa kuljettajan työstä ohjaamon ulkopuolella. Eri sidosryhmät voivat osaltaan vaikuttaa kuljettajan työjärjestelmiin. Kuljettajien ja sidosryhmien tuottamaa tietoa voidaan soveltaa työjärjestelmien kokonaisvaltaisessa suunnittelussa ja johtamisessa niin yritystasolla kuin myös suunniteltaessa ja johdettaessa laajempia arvoketjuja

Full textAbstract:
Medical error, patient safety and nurses’ performance are some of the critical concerns within healthcare systems. Several factors contribute to nurses’ performance and patient safety including fatigue, sleepiness and work system parameters.
Furthermore, because of a shortage of nurses, working nurses are often experiencing high workloads. They often work in 12- hour shifts and/or consecutive night shifts without receiving enough sleep or recovery. Thus, they frequently are fatigued and suffer from sleep deprivation, which again is negatively associated with patient safety. Therefore, health care researchers and decision makers are interested in developing policies and tools that help decrease nurses’ errors and increase their performance.
Thus, there is a need for a promising approach to understanding nurse fatigue and its causes and consequences that is able to capture dynamic nature of the problem. This study aimed to address this need. In the first step, data were collected from a private hospital. Next, a data mining technique was applied to uncover the patterns and associations among contributing factors that affect performance and patient safety. Finally, a model was developed to measure nurses’ responses to different work system parameters and stressors.

Full textAbstract:
Nurses have a key role in keeping patients safe from medical errors because they work at the point of care where most errors occur. Nursing work at the intersection of patients and health care systems requires high levels of cognitive activity to anticipate potential problems and effectively respond to rapidly evolving and potentially harmful situations. The literature describes nursing work at the intersection of patient and health care system as well as barriers to providing safe patient care. However, little is known about the systems knowledge nurses use to negotiate the health care system on their patients’ behalf, or how this systems information is exchanged between nurses.
Using the clinical microsystem as the conceptual framework, this qualitative descriptive investigation identified and described: 1) the components of systems knowledge needed by nurses, 2) how systems information is exchanged between nurses, and 3) systems information exchanged between staff nurses and travel nurses. Data were collected from a stratified maximum variation sample of 18 nurse leaders, staff nurses, and travel nurses working within a high-functioning neonatal intensive care nursery within a large academic medical center in New England. Data collection methods included participant observation, document review, individual interviews, and a focus group session. Data were analyzed through constant comparison for emerging themes and patterns. Findings were compared for commonalities and differences within and across groups.
Three components of systems knowledge emerged: structural, operational, and relational. Systems information exchange occurred through direct and indirect means. Direct means included formal and informal mechanisms. The formal mechanism of orientation was identified by each participant. Informal mechanisms such as peer teaching, problem solving, and modeling behaviors were identified by participants from each of the three nurse groups. Travel nurses’ descriptions of the common themes focused on individual efficacy. Staff nurses focused on fostering smooth unit functioning. Nurse leaders described common themes from a perspective of unit development. Four overarching domains of systems information were exchanged between staff nurses and travel nurses: practice patterns; staffing patterns and roles; tips, tricks, tidbits, and techniques; and environmental elements. Communication emerged as a common theme across nurse groups and domains of systems information exchanged. These findings have implications for nursing orientation and staff development, continuous improvement at the local level, and curriculum development.

Abstract Several companies work in shared workplaces and each company has different requirements for health (H), safety (S), environment (E) and quality (Q). Many globally operating companies have defined their own corporate requirements. Requirements in local national legislation and insurance policies are creating more challenges. The various requirements affect how HSEQ management is implemented in changing, complex, and heterogeneous working environments. The aim of the thesis was to describe HSEQ management development in Northern Finnish process industry companies (N = 6) and their company network in the shared workplaces context during the past 20 years. The study also describes the current state of HS and partly EQ [HS(EQ)] management practices and tools in a global steel company. An important objective was to make recommendations on how to continuously improve and develop HS(EQ) issues. A mixed methods approach (interview, document study, questionnaire, benchmarking and -learning, SWOT analysis) were used in the case study. HSEQ Assessment Procedure―a type of integrated management system tool―was developed to evaluate supplying companies’ HSEQ performance in shared workplaces. It was selected as the main method on one site of the global steel company. The global steel company’s HS management system was based on OHSAS 18001 with HS vision and principles, development plan, internal standards and performance indicators. Lost time injury frequency rate (LTIFR) and HSEQ AP performance showed positive trends. Both corporate HS requirements and local HS(EQ) practices provided adequate tools for a safety culture and HS(EQ) performance development. Recommendations were made regarding HS(EQ) management tools, practices and indicators in shared workplaces operating globally. The focus should be on preventive actions, such as leading performance indicators and creating a uniform safety culture for shared workplaces with a sustainable foundation. The development should be supported by the commitment and participative development of every organisational level. Learning from internal good practices and external benchmarking are valuable methods for this purpose. HSEQ management, change management, internal and external standardisation and information technology systems should be exploited to support this goalTiivistelmä Yhteisellä työpaikalla työskentelee useita yrityksiä, jotka ovat määrittäneet omat vaatimuksensa työterveydelle (H), työturvallisuudelle (S), ympäristölle (E) ja laadulle (Q). Lisäksi kansainvälisillä yrityksillä, kansallisessa lainsäädännössä ja vakuutusyhtiöillä on omat vaatimuksensa, jotka luovat entistä haasteellisemman työympäristön. Monenlaiset vaatimukset vaikuttavat siihen, kuinka HSEQ-johtaminen on toteutettu muuttuvassa, monimutkaisessa ja epäyhtenäisessä työympäristössä. Tutkimuksessa kuvattiin HSEQ-johtamisen kehittymistä pohjoissuomalaisissa prosessiteollisuuden yrityksissä (N=6) ja niiden yritysverkostossa, yhteisellä työpaikalla, viimeisen 20 vuoden aikana. Lisäksi kuvattiin HS ja osittain myös EQ [HS(EQ)] -johtamisen menetelmien ja työkalujen nykytilaa kansainvälisessä terästeollisuuden yrityksessä, sekä kehitystarpeita tavoiteltaessa HS(EQ)-johtamisen huippuosaamista. Tutkimus toteutettiin monimenetelmällisenä tapaustutkimuksena: haastattelu, dokumenttien tutkimus, kysely, esikuva-analyysi, SWOT-analyysi. HSEQ-arviointi on kehitetty yhteisille työpaikoille toimittajayritysten HSEQ-suorituskyvyn arviointiin hyödyntäen integroidun johtamisjärjestelmän periaatetta, ja se valittiin yhdeksi päämenetelmäksi tutkimuksen kohteena olevalle yhteiselle työpaikalle. Tutkimuksen kohteena olevan terästeollisuuden alan yrityksen HS-johtaminen perustui OHSAS 18001-järjestelmään. Visio, periaatteet, toimintasuunnitelma, sisäiset standardit ja suorituskyvyn mittarit muodostivat konsernin HS-järjestelmän. Tapaturmataajuuden ja HSEQ-arvioinnin tulosten perustella kehitys on ollut positiivista. Konsernin HS-vaatimukset ja paikalliset HS(EQ)-käytännöt antoivat kohtuulliset työkalut turvallisuuskulttuurin ja HS(EQ)-suorituskyvyn kehittämiselle. Suositukset koskivat yhteisillä työpaikoilla ja kansainvälisessä työympäristössä toimivien organisaatioiden HS(EQ)-johtamisen työkaluja, käytäntöjä ja mittareita. Pitäisi keskittyä ennakointiin, kuten ennakoiviin turvallisuusmittareihin ja luomaan yhtenäinen kestävä turvallisuuskulttuuri yhteiselle työpaikalle. Jokaisen organisaatiotason tulisi sitoutua kehittämiseen hyödyntäen osallistuvaa kehittämistä. Sisäisillä hyvillä käytännöillä ja ulkoisella esikuva-analyysilla voidaan tukea kehittämistä. HSEQ-johtamista, muutoksenhallintaa, sisäistä ja ulkoista standardointia sekä tietoteknisiä järjestelmiä pitäisi hyödyntää

This work of thesis studies the approach of the Water Safety Plan, that is applied to a part of the drinking water supply network managed by AIMAG S.p.A.
The Water Safety Plans have been introduced by the World Health Organization and have been identified as the most effective way to systematically guarantee the safety of the drinking water system, the quality of the water supplied, and the protection of the health of consumers. Through a preventive and qualitative analysis that includes risk assessment and management, the Water Safety Plans make it possible to guarantee over time the absence of potential physical, biological, and chemical hazards in the water available for consumption. The result obtained through the application of the Water Safety Plan involves the construction of a risk matrix, that allows the development of an improvement plan for the control of each hazard and associated risk (in priority scale). After that, the previously performed analysis is supported through the application of statistical and probabilistic techniques used in the reliability analysis to optimize the control activities based on a risk assessment. The first one is the Fault Tree Analysis, which is a deductive technique supported by Boolean algebra that focuses on a particular undesirable event and provides a method for identifying possible causes. In parallel with the application of the Fault Tree Analysis, the Monte Carlo method is applied, which is a computational method based on random sampling of certain variables to obtain numerical results. Finally, the result obtained through the application of both methodologies is the definition of the probability of failure of some nodes and internodes that are part of a portion of the drinking water supply network managed by AIMAG S.p.A.
At the end, the work of thesis lead to results which prove that the qualitative approach of the Water Safety Plans can be effective, especially if supported by different types of analysis.

A competitividade gerada pelo mercado atual faz com que as empresas melhorem seu desempenho não somente no que se refere à organização da produção, como qualidade e produtividade, mas também com relação à segurança e à saúde ocupacional de seus trabalhadores. A melhora no desempenho na área de segurança e saúde do trabalho depende de trabalhos que avaliem fatores relacionados às condições de trabalho e que , simultaneamente, atendam à legislação relacionada a essa área. Por isso, desenvolveu-se um modelo de gestão capaz de permitir a melhora das condições de trabalho, mediante conceitos de Ergonomia Participativa e que facilitasse a elaboração e o controle dos programas exigidos pela legislação. O modelo foi implantado em uma empresa metalúrgica de médio porte da Serra gaúcha onde se pôde avaliar a eficiência do mesmo. Os resultados apontaram para a melhoria da organização do trabalho em geral, com a participação dos trabalhadores nos processos de qualidade, segurança e saúde ocupacional.The competitiveness generated by the current market incites companies to improve their performance, not only regarding the organization of production, such as quality and productivity, but also in relation to safety and occupational health of their employees. The improvement on the performance in safety and health at work depends on activities that evaluate factors which are related to the work conditions, and simultaneously attends the law related to this area. For this reason, a model of management able to allow the improvement of work conditions through Participative Ergonomics concepts and which facilitates the elaboration and control of the programs that are required by law has been developed. The model has been introduced in a middle sized metallurgic company located in the State of Rio Grande do Sul, where its efficiency can be evaluated. The results have pointed to the improvement of the organization of work in general, with the participation of the employees in the processes of quality, safety and occupational health.

El desarrollo de la presente tesis busco comprobar los errores en la aplicación de la identificación de peligros, evaluación de riesgos y Controles (IPERC), el grado de compromiso del trabajador y la política del sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo, con el objetivo determinar una propuesta para mejorar la aplicación del Sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo para reducir la perdida de la capacidad auditiva denominada “hipoacusia profesional” en los trabajadores del área de compactación de una Empresa Distribuidora de Gas Natural en Lima Metropolitana.
Durante el desarrollo se identificó en el área de compactación un porcentaje del 55% de trabajadores con hipoacusia profesional. Para identificar el peligro potencial de esta enfermedad ocupacional se realizó mediciones de la exposición al ruido en los trabajadores, determinando que la contaminación presentada durante sus actividades alcanzaron niveles de 98.90 dB superando los limites máximos permisibles de 85 dB para una jornada de 8 horas (Decreto supremo 357, 2012) convirtiéndose en el mayor riesgo del lugar de trabajo. La propuesta de mejora en el Sistema de gestión de seguridad y salud en el trabajo fue el de proponer una nueva matriz de identificación de peligros, evaluación de riesgos y controles (IPERC) estableciendo nuevos controles para reducir el riesgo por la exposición del ruido, para esto se calculo la protección auditiva adecuada para resguardar la salud del trabajador, proponiendo una doble protección auditiva; se buscó tener un personal capacitado para el puesto proponiendo un programa de certificación de trabajadores del área de compactación. Además de proponer un programa de incentivos para mejorar el compromiso del trabajador que cumpla con los estándares de seguridad y salud en el trabajo.

During development it was identified in the compaction area percentage of 55% of hearing loss professional workers. To identify the potential of this occupational disease risk exposure measurements were performed on workers to noise, pollution determining that presented during their activities reached 98.90 dB levels exceeding the maximum permissible limits of 85 dB for an 8-hour day (decree Supreme 357, 2012) becoming the greatest risk in the workplace.
The proposed improvement in the management system of health and safety at work was to propose a new array of hazard identification, risk assessment and controls (IPERC) establishing new controls to reduce the risk of noise exposure to this proper hearing protection was calculated to protect worker health, proposing a double hearing protection; He sought to have qualified for the position proposing a certification program area workers compaction staff. In addition to proposing an incentive program to improve employee engagement that meets the standards of safety and health at work.

The focus of this investigation was an analysis of the work demands being placed on South African automotive industry workers as there is a recognised problem with regard to the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). Preliminary work was conducted to highlight the dominant risks and areas which elicited higher numbers of MSDs within the chosen automotive plant. An area of concern was highlighted through medical record analysis and the use of risk assessment tools, thereby prioritising the need for ergonomic intervention. In particular, the effects of varying restricted and overhead work heights on the biomechanical, physiological and psychophysical responses of an individual were investigated. Twenty-eight subjects were required to complete sixteen conditions. The conditions consisted of the adoption of restricted and upright overhead static postures, with half requiring the holding of four kilograms of weight in the hands and the remaining eight conditions having no weight. Testing was carried out using an electromyography unit, ergospirometer and a perceptual Body Discomfort Map and Scale. This involved a habituation and testing session. The results of the testing revealed the biomechanical and physiological responses were dependant on the change in height. Body discomfort was also shown to be variable over the changing height conditions. This indicates that there is a significant effect of height on an individual’s responses during overhead work. The extreme restricted (-200mm and -100mm) and upright (+300mm and +400mm) overhead conditions within this study were limiting, as they elicited the highest muscle activation, physiological responses and body discomfort ratings. Positions that are preferable to adopt, which were identified from the results in this study, indicate conditions closer to head height (0mm and +100mm) were favourable.

O número excessivo de acidentes no setor da construção civil e os grandes desastres mundiais divulgados pela mídia levam as empresas a acreditarem que competitividade e lucro não são suficientes. Assim, elas também devem demonstrar uma atitude ética e responsável quanto à segurança e saúde em seus ambientes de trabalho, além de cuidar das questões ambientais. O Sistema de Gestão da Segurança e Saúde no Trabalho (SGSST), considerado um instrumento eficaz para a melhoria das condições do ambiente de trabalho, é uma das possíveis alternativas para a evolução da gestão nas empresas construtoras, as quais historicamente apresentam baixo desempenho nessa área. Esta pesquisa apresenta informações relevantes que podem ser utilizadas por empresas construtoras durante a concepção e implementação de seu SGSST. Ela estabelece os conceitos do SGSST e discute seus principais elementos e a possibilidade de integração com os sistemas de gestão da qualidade e ambiental, apresentando os principais resultados identificados durante a participação direta deste autor no processo de implementação, que foram obtidos por uma construtora brasileira de edifícios. Os resultados demonstraram que a implementação do SGSST traz melhorias significativas nas condições do ambiente de trabalho, principalmente quando acompanhada da instituição de uma nova cultura, que considera segurança e saúde no trabalho um dos fatores essenciais na avaliação global do desempenho da empresa.The excessive number of accidents related to the construction sector and the huge worldwide disasters broadcast by the media make the companies believe that being competitive and profitable is not enough. As such, they also shall demonstrate an ethical and responsible attitude towards health and safety in their workplace, besides dealing with environmental concerns. The Occupational Health and Safety Management System (OHSMS), considered an effective tool for the improvement of the workplace conditions, is one of the possible alternatives for the management evolution in construction companies, which have historically shown poor performance in this matter. This research presents relevant information that can be used by construction companies during the development and implementation of their OHSMS. It establishes OHSMS concepts and discusses its main elements and the possibility of integration with quality and environmental management systems, showing the main results achieved by a Brazilian building construction company that were identified during the direct participation of this author in the implementation process. The results demonstrate that OHSMS implementation brings significant improvements in workplace conditions, mainly when it is followed by the establishment of a new culture, which considers occupational health and safety as one essential factor in the global evaluation of the companys performance.

Regarding domestic construction corporations constructing for public works, most of them, except for those major ones, do not pay much attention to occupational safety and health. If supervision authorities are short-handed or do not exactly superintend the execution of occupational safety/health issues, the risk of occupational hazards will much increase. Of note, the incidence of occupational injuries of domestic public works is always higher than other industries and casualties secondary to occupational injuries of domestic public works rank first among all industries. To promote public works, government is looking forward to delivering projects on time, on budget and on quality, relying on a safe construction. In view of the above, we proposed a risk management model for the operators in different stages of public works construction including engineering lifecycle plan, engineering procurement and construction compliance. This study also aimed to comment on conventionally performance of the contract. Otherwise, based on the idea of sources management, we also emphasize to implement risk management and risk transference as early as the time of projects planning. Subsequently, risk reduction, even avoidance during construction stage may be achieved and a win-win situation for corporations and governments, the best result of risk management, may be created.

Because of the inherent physical hazards of construction projects, construction is the most dangerous occupation. For instance, between 2001 and 2011 in Taiwan, 1,560 fatal accidents occurred at construction sites, approximately 20% of the total fatalities of all industries during the same period. The global construction industry faces similar problems. The most common root cause contributing to this phenomenon is the fact that the construction industry strives to complete projects on time and within budget. Large construction companies usually employ a pool of subcontractors purely based on cost consideration. There is only limited emphasis on subcontractors’occupational safety and health performances. With the increasing acceptance of a system’s approach toward occupational safety and health management, a number of countries started to promulgate management guidelines targeting the construction industry in recent years. The Council of Labor Affair’s guidelines for construction occupational safety and health management system, issuedin 2011, are equivalent to those promulgated in 2007 for general industries. The Construction Occupational Safety and Health Management System, COSHMS, requires the construction site owner, or project rendering organization, with employers, employees of the construction company and its subcontractors to jointly develop and implement the appropriate management system arrangements, processes, and practices. This research, conducted from the perspective of the site owner, aims to study the implementation issues of COSHMS. Audit results, performed by the site owner, are analyzed using the Fish-bone and the Eight Discipline Problem Solving techniques. Recommendations for effective COSHMS implementation are also proposed. It is hoped that this study can contribute to improved occupation safety and health management of construction projects.
