“…Positive safety attitudes in the workplace are needed for a work environment free of accidents, which provides greater productivity, the highest quality, saves budget on accident costs, boosts employee morale, corporate profit, and goodwill. Hence, improving organization factor analysis may have a positive impact on safety and health, as well as on quality, productivity, and employee happiness (Kamal et al, 2013).…”

Construction industry plays a significant part in the growth of Malaysia's economy, and it is one of the country's most vital industries. Therefore, falling from a scaffolding is one of the most prevalent construction hazards. Scaffolding accidents are increased by factors such as inadequate capacity and incorrect usage of Personal Protective Equipment. Based on the previous studies, none of the researcher has reviewed scaffolding safety issues by using systematic literature review method. As a result, this review was driven to emphasize thecurrent state of scaffolding unsafe factors in order to close this research gap. The purpose of this systematic review is to summarize the available research from 2012 to 2022 about the current state of scaffolding unsafe factors. The research used Atlas.ti 8, a keyword search, and a snowballing approach to filter for inclusion criteria from SCOPUS, Science Direct, and Web of Science. However, following the inclusion and exclusion procedure, only 29 papers were utilized to assess the final articles. A thematic assessment of these 29 papers identified initial codes identifying and categorizing them as follows: worker behavior, worker skill, site condition, design fault, insufficient equipment, management problem, and Personal Protective Equipment. The discovery is likely to enhance scaffolding safety on construction sites. For future research, other researcher can use primary method such as qualitative or quantitative method focusing on specific location to determine scaffolding unsafe factors for a particular type of scaffoldings

“…This situation is similar in Malaysia, where the construction industry has also been considered as one of the most hazardous industry [21]. According to official statistics by the Malaysian Ministry of Human Resources, the number of mortality and disability cases involving construction workers in Malaysia is the highest compared to other sectors [3].…”

“…Aksorn and Hadi's [45] study in Thai construction sites classified causes of accidents as personal, job, management, and workgroup factors. Kamal's [21] study in Malaysia's construction sites attributed accidents to construction hazards, safety culture, work physiology and characteristics of workers. Lilis [46] also conducted her study in Malaysia and attributed accidents to (a lack of) occupational safety and health (OSH) implementation, management commitment, legislation and external support.…”

Undoubtedly Malaysian construction industry contributes enormously towards Malaysia's nation economic growth.Despite the significant role of the construction industry plays in the country's development and its heavy contribution towards economic growth and employment, the statistics show a high prevalence of accidents and injuries in the industry, resulting in nonpermanent or permanent disabilities, fatalities and damage or loss of property. Past research suggests that on-site construction accidents can be prevented by identifying the root causes, thereby making such predictions based on knowledge and resources on accident causation possible. The aim of this study is to develop an Accident Causation for Accident Prevention (ACfAP) model for key management parties at Malaysia building construction sites. At this stage, this paper will present the initial stage of study (the information gathering phase) by presents the significant groups of accident causations factors for accident prevention. In overall, this ongoing research will be divided into three phases; (i) the information gathering phase;; (ii) the model development phase; and (iii) the model analysis phase. First, previous studies on safety, accident causation and prevention of accidents at construction sites are briefly reviewed from books, theses and journal articles in order to provide a global perspective on the subject. Second, a comprehensive ACfAP will be developed based on the attributes of accident causation obtained from expert surveys. Third, the hypothesised relationships are tested using partial least squares (PLS) path modelling approach. Finally the ACfAP Model for key management at building construction sites will be developed.

“…According to [8], safe behavior supports safe practices and safety activities in the workplace, and workers must accept both as job requirements to avoid workplace accidents. Furthermore, [9] states that the major personal or human factors are work attitudes and motivation. Below is a list of each error:…”

Accidents while working in the construction industry source many tangible and intangible losses. Although various measures have been taken to reduce occupational accidents in the construction sector, occupational accidents are still increasing, especially in Indonesia. Meanwhile there is some literature on the relationship between personality traits and accidents, much remains to be considered before applying the research to accident prevention. Therefore, there is a need to study in detail the correlations between the Big 5 characteristics and safety behaviors, including other variables, so that preventive action can be taken as a form of occupational injury prevention. The purpose of this study was to analyze the impact of the Big 5 personality traits, using personal values and safety culture as variables influencing safety behavior in construction workers. This study analyzes or resolves not only the direct impact of Big 5 personality traits on safety behavior of construction workers, but also the indirect impact through personal values and safety culture. Data were collected through interviews with 300 construction workers in Surabaya, Malang and Batu, East Java, Indonesia. The results showed that the Big 5 personality had a significant positive impact on workplace safety behavior with a difference of 0.299. In addition, personal values and safety culture as intervention variables may influence the impact of Big 5 personality traits on workers' safety behavior. The 0.788 and 0.545 Big 5 personalities have a significant impact on personal values and safety culture. One of the dominant indicators when measuring the Big 5 personality structure is neuroticism, with the highest stress factor of 0.928. Therefore, if management wants to improve worker safety behavior, it should conduct a workplace analysis to hire competent workers with a high degree of neuroticism
