“…Guha used factor analysis, multiple regression, and other methods to analyze the safety management problems of existing construction organizations in Kolkata, India. The study found that strengthening the safety training of managers has an important impact on improving the safety awareness of managers and workers [26]. Liu et al, based on the K-means mean value of the urban rail transit construction safety accident clustering analysis of the main process, found that the bad complex geological conditions of the construction organization are the dominant safety factors [27].…”

In the construction of urban rail transit projects, the disturbance of equipment, sudden failure, rainstorms, and other emergencies may bring serious safety risks. Resilience theory emphasizes the ability of the system to resist, adapt, absorb, and learn from risks in the whole process before, during, and after the occurrence of risks. It is introduced into the safety management of construction organization of urban rail transit projects to describe the ability of urban rail transit projects to cope with risks in the whole process of dealing with construction risks. This study defines the connotation of the resilience of the project construction organization and uses the literature frequency statistics method to determine the resilience evaluation indexes. The game theory combination weighting method is used to determine the index weights, and the cloud matter element model is used to establish the evaluation model of construction organization resilience of urban rail transit projects. Taking Nanchang West Station of Phase 1 Project of Nanchang Line 2 as an example, the validity and accuracy of the model are verified. The results show that the resilience grade of the construction organization of the project is “higher resilience,” which is consistent with the actual survey situation, and the evaluation model is reasonable. In addition, in the evaluation results, the key indexes and risk indexes of the project are determined, and the safety management measures of the construction organization of the project are put forward according to the key indexes and risk indexes.

“…Haefeli et al [20] noted that health and safety errors could affect a company's financial success through higher-level factors such customer and client expectations, employee morale, productivity, efficiency, and service delivery. Guha [21] argues that strict safety regulations in developing nations may be unreasonable and that stakeholders cannot absorb the safety cost for economic survival if the true cost of accident is too low. Safety investment cannot be absolute, and a logical safety cost judgment is needed.…”

The increased cost of applying health, safety, and environmental standards to sustainable projects, as compared to traditional projects, causes project owners and contractors considerable concern because it reduces profits. The objective of the study is to identify the most significant factors that contribute to the increasing cost of sustainable projects. The study assesses the factors that increase the cost of implementing health, safety, and environmental management standards in sustainable construction projects as compared to traditional projects. Toward this end, a field survey was conducted on a sample of 53 selected projects in a specific geographical area with a high intensity of construction work. Data was collected using structured questionnaires and analyzed using a tabulated presentation that determined the percentages of responses given. The study's findings indicate that selecting HSE managers with more experience, increasing scaffolding security and specialized training and using more personal protection equipment in sustainable projects are some of the most significant variables causing cost increases. The findings show that improved HSE regulations are needed for the Egyptian construction sector, especially in traditional projects. To attain cost effectiveness, HSE issues must be recognized and integrated early in the project cycle. On sustainable Egyptian projects, the client, consultant, and contractor must collaborate to enhance health, safety, and the environment.

“…The following review studies the calculation and influencing factors of SMC. Guha et al (2013) stated that most of the construction industry's SMCs are set lower than the actual budget required. They also stated that since the budget for safety management is limited, SMCs should be appropriated based on reasonable standards [25].…”

Even if a building has the same building area or number of floors, the effect on construction safety varies depending on the building shape, and thus, safety management cost (SMC) should be calculated differently. If the effect of the building shape on the SMC is clearly analyzed and reflected, a reasonable SMC could be calculated. This study analyzes building shape’s impact on SMC, including apartment buildings’ impact. Following the data collection from 21 projects for this study, an analysis was conducted using the independent variables of the building perimeter (BP), building floor area (BA), and the building shape factor (BSF), and the dependent variable of SMC. As a result of analyzing the correlation between the three main factors and SMC, it was found that the BP, BSF, and BA have a very strong positive Pearson correlation coefficient of 0.876, 0.801, and 0.792, respectively. In the future, the results of this study can be used as supporting data for improving the safety management cost-related system and will develop into a more reliable model through continuous data accumulation and utility verification.
