“…The effectiveness of an occupational safety system is estimated according to the value of safety performance, and is measured by corresponding indicators and methods of multicriteria decision-making for their ranking, selection, and management [17][18][19][20][21][22]. There are a number of studies about factors, performance, and indicators of occupational safety [4,8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16].…”

This paper presents the factors, performance, and indicators of occupational safety, as well as a method to select and rank occupational safety indicators based on the expert evaluation method and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy AHP). A case study is done on road construction companies in Serbia. The key safety performance indicators for the road construction industry are identified and ranked according to the results of a survey that included experts who assessed occupational safety risks in these companies. The case study confirmed that organisational factors have a dominant effect on the quality of the occupational health and safety management system in Serbian road construction companies. OPSOMMINGHierdie artikel toon die faktore, prestasies en aanwysers van beroepsveiligheid en 'n metode om beroepsveiligheid aanwysers te kies en te rangskik. Die rangskikking van beroepsveiligheid aanwysers is gegrond op die deskundige evaluasie metode en die wasige analitiese hiërargie proses. 'n Gevalle studie is geloods op padkonstruksie maatskappye in Serwië. Die sleutel veiligheidsprestasieaanwysers is geïdentifiseer en rangskik volgens die resultate van 'n opname onder deskundiges wat die beroepsveiligheid risiko's in hierdie maatskappye assesseer. Die gevalle studie het bevestig dat organisatoriesefaktore 'n daadwerklike effek op die gehalte van die beroepsveiligheid bestuurstelsel in Serwiese padkonstruksie maatskappye het.

“…However, the overall safety performance of the Hong Kong construction industry has still plenty of rooms for improvement (Construction Industry Review Committee, 2001;Tam et al, 2002 and2006). The implementation of PFSS is now being adopted in spate across the public sector whereas there are a scarcity of private sector projects which have launched PFSS so far.…”

“…Due to the hazardous and complexity of work, safety is a serious problem within the construction industry (Tam, 2002). It is evident that the construction industry has recorded the highest rate of accident among various major industries in most parts of the world (Koehn et al, 1995;Sawacha et al, 1999;Ahmed et al, 2000;Wong and So, 2004;Choudhry and Fang, 2008).…”

In recent years, construction safety has been a hot topic in Hong Kong. The Government of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region (HKSAR) has launched different safety measures to improve the prevailing safety performance of the construction industry. The Pay for Safety Scheme (PFSS) has emerged as one of the major safety initiatives launched within the public sector construction industry since 1996. It aims to encourage the safety awareness by taking the contractor's pricing for safety-related items out from the consideration of competitive bidding. The objective is to provide a concise review of the prevailing application of PFSS in Hong Kong in general, and to identify and analyse the key benefits of PFSS in construction through an industry-wide empirical questionnaire survey in particular. Altogether, 145 industrial practitioners who have derived extensive hands-on experience with the PFSS construction projects participated in the survey to indicate their levels of agreement to those 14 key benefits identified which were measured and analysed by factor analysis. The results of factor analysis indicated that the 14 individual benefits of implementing PFSS were consolidated under 4 underlying factors: (1) Enhancing safety climate and attitude; (2) Promoting effective safety-related communication; (3) Streamlining the safety procedures; and (4) Ensuring adequate safety training. A wider application of PFSS should be encouraged with a view to achieving better safety performance within the industry. It is recommended that a similar scheme to PFSS currently applied in Hong Kong may be developed for implementation in other regions or countries for international comparisons.

“…This evaluation method suits for complicated social and economic fields and engineering technology fields that is difficult to direct quantitatively. And it can improve expert analysis judgment, reduce the difficulty of comparative judgment, improve the accuracy of solving problems, and draw an objective comprehensive evaluation conclusion more powerful [6].…”

Abstract-This paper is combined with successful cases of the Chinese typical city governments purchase pension service, and on this basis, analyzing the present situations、advantages and disadvantages of social organizations provide pension service quality supervision and evaluation in actual operation. The developed countries mature management experience for reference, using the theory of system engineering to construct suitable for Chinese government purchase pension service quality management effectiveness index system from four aspects, which is the life care services, physical and mental health services, leisure and recreation services and safety and hygiene services, and to evaluate each factor priority of the index system's criterion layer and the index layer with quantitative fuzzy comprehensive method. Evaluation result for guarantee elderly pension life quality, improve allocation efficiency of the public service resource, and perfect the pension service management processes, thus promoting the development of social organizations, expanding public management theory and research method has a very important practical and theoretical significance.
