Abstract. The construction sector is among the most hazardous industry due to the working environment which exposes workers to high risk of accidents. Statistics by the Malaysian Ministry of Human Resource had shown that the number of mortality and disability cases involving construction workers were the highest among the other sectors. Most of the cases were caused by unidentified hazards around the construction sites. The literature had documented that environmental factors were responsible for most of the cases. This paper aims to highlight on the causation factors of accidents and injuries at the construction sites based on the human factor. Selected journals and research papers related with accidents at construction sites were reviewed and human error was found to be the main causation factor of accidents at construction sites. This study urges for more in depth study on the actions or interventions that could be taken to minimize the occurrence of human error in the construction site, thus, minimizing the occurrence of accidents, injuries and even mortality.

The construction service sector is one of the many business fields that are classified as very prone to accidents. This research takes a case study, namely the Bali Kura-Kura Creative Campus Development Project which requires a lot of human resources and is of course prone to construction accidents due to negligence or human error. The purpose of this study is to determine the level of accident risk that occurs and provide K3 recommendations after knowing the level of accident risk. In this study the questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. Questionnaires were compiled from predetermined research variables. After knowing the variables and data, the next step is to apply the Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA) method The conclusion that can be drawn from this research is the calculation using the HIRA method, which is that there are activities with a low risk level of 3 (15%) sources in the excavation area. Then there are 5 sources (25%) that are included in the medium risk level and 10 sources (50%) of the risk that are included in the high risk category found in all activity areas. Meanwhile, in the extreme risk category, there are 2 sources (10%) found in the excavation area and based on the analysis, it can be seen that the recommendations for improvement proposals that can be made include tightening supervision on each worker activity, enforcing SOPs for each activity, providing safety signs on certain areas that may pose a potential hazard, provide personal protective equipment (PPE).

Timber has been used for bridge construction in the United States for hundreds of years. Despite the proven suitability of timber for short‐ and medium‐ span bridges, its use as a bridge material has declined in the 20th century. This has been due in part to a lag in the development of new timber bridge technology compared to other materials, and an unfamiliarity with timber on the part of many bridge designers and contractors. Since 1988, two legislative acts have been passed by the US Congress to establish national programs aimed at improving timber utilization in transportation structures. This paper briefly describes these timber bridge initiatives and summarizes activities in the areas of demonstration bridges, research and development, and technology transfer.
