Fall accident is an accident category that becomes a primary cause of fatal and nonfatal injuries among construction workers worldwide. The objectives of the paper are to report the results of a study investigating 100 reports of fall accidents in the high-rise building project in Indonesia. The study concludes that the impact/consequence of the fall accident mostly occurring involves a fatality, causing death (56%), major injuries, causing permanent physical defect (28%), and minor injuries, causing temporary wound (16%). The main factors of fall accidents causation are mostly related to personal factors (61%) and non-personal factors (30%). It was found that fall accidents mainly take place in the area of scaffoldings (52%), area of structure (28%), and area of working structure (20%). The fall accidents occurred mostly during afternoon time (42%), followed morning time (27%), and evening time (21%), and workers who are 20 – 30 years old and under 20 years old get a higher risk of getting accidents. The findings will be a recommendation to construction companies for developing effective safety programs for the prevention of fall accidents.

Many challenges are faced in implementing sustainable construction in Indonesia. This research aims to find an effective method for adopting sustainable construction. The method used combines qualitative and quantitative methods by incorporating the identification of significant factors affecting the adoption of sustainable construction. In data collection with the SWOT system, FGDs and interviews provided accurate information regarding factors and strategies to promote sustainable construction, particularly in the Likupang SEZ Project. From the results of the study, the IFSC value for the promotion strategy of sustainable construction in the Likupang SEZ project is the social factor of 0.2, followed by the economic factor of 0.3, the environmental factor of 1.2, and the government support factor, business investment, and cultural factors of 1.4, respectively. The highest IFSC value was obtained for the human resource factor of 1.6. Thus, it can be concluded that human resources must be accompanied by government support along with business investment and cultural influences in order to realize adequate sustainable development projections for the Likupang SEZ project in the future. Doi: 10.28991/CEJ-SP2023-09-07 Full Text: PDF
