High accident rates have been a complicated and persistent problem in the Hong Kong construction industry. This situation has stimulated this investigation into factors that influence the risk-taking propensity of construction workers. However, interviewing workers who had a bad experience is problematic because changes in attitude and perception may occur as a result of such an experience. Using quasi-expert interviews can reduce this problem. The objective of this study was to identify factors that influence the risk-taking propensity of construction workers. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 safety professionals all with accident inspection experience and six super-safe workers with no incident record for the past five years. Seven factors that affect the risk-taking propensity of construction workers were successfully identified. Each factor is thoughtfully discussed, and this study shows that quasi-expert interview is a pragmatic approach for deepening the understanding of risk-taking propensity among construction workers. Findings of this study will hopefully help and encourage further quantitative research on the risk-taking propensity of construction workers with different perspectives.

“…For most complex project construction sites that use explosives, one of the main safety requirements is the focus is on the most effective use of explosives coupled with managing risk and safety requirements in a standards-oriented culture (Machfudiyanto et al, 2017). However, the outcome suggests clearly that much effort was spent, by the contractor, on hiding their activities associated with explosives use at site, and in the supply chain across delivery chains to the explosive's manufacturer.…”

This is research is focused on the evaluation of Owner Engineer perceptions and its impacts on Explosives management practices and developments related to an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC) Tunnel Construction Project in Kashmir using an interpretive methodology.The scope for this research was the Owner engineer project team. The population of interest was made up of 13 senior engineers, encompassing a multi-site EPC Tunnel Construction Project. Eleven (11) senior engineers were carefully targeted as a designed sample size.The research outcomes consisted of three (3) Main Themes - Site Safety; Explosives Management and Security Issues and fourteen (14) sub-themes, with 387 dialogue targets.The paper addresses a variety of major issues resulting from the analysis of narrative data relating to Owner project safety leaderships and raises determinations of the implications for managing safety at the project sites and in the wider community.

“…These are the constructs required by the organization in its safety policies and strategy issues to minimize the prevalence of OHS. Similar studies showed that strategy issues in an organization motivate managers to formulate safety guidelines and procedures (De Silva, 2012;De Silva et al, 2018;EY and Y, 2015;Iavicoli et al, 2011;KUO et al, 2009;Machfudiyanto et al, 2017;Milgate et al, 2002;Tang et al, 2011).…”

PurposeManagement commitments (MCs) have a prominent effect to create a safe work environment in the industries. Though there have been various studies on the prevalence and associated factors of OHS in Ethiopian manufacturing industries, the role of MCs in improving workplace safety, however, has not been studied so far. The purpose of this paper is, therefore, to investigate the role of MCs on improving OHS in iron, steel and metal manufacturing industries (ISMMI) in Addis Ababa.Design/methodology/approachThis paper used a close-ended questionnaire to collect primary data from 89 ISMMI and fitted the data in structural equation modelling (SEM) techniques using SPSS and AMOS.FindingsThe major findings of the study showed that directly or indirectly there are good MCs in Ethiopian ISMMI. To some extent, MCs have also resulted in reducing risk and diseases causing factors, which subsequently reduced occupational risks and disease. However, the study showed that MCs are not strategically supported.Research limitations/implicationsDue to the limited scope of data collection, the research results may not be equally implemented outside Addis Ababa and other sectors.Practical implicationsThe findings of the research may help policymakers and managers to strictly control MCs and follow up implementation of OHS policies.Originality/valueThis paper is the first of its kind in developing the conceptual framework model and attempting to assess MCs using structural equation model towards improving OHS in ISMMI.
