The government of Indonesia is targeting a supply shortage or housing backlog in 2019 to be 5.4 million. With the shortage of rental housing needs that are still very large, the development needs of rental flats in the future are still very high. But on the other hand, the implementation of construction projects in Indonesia, in general, the number of work accidents also increased. Referring to Labor Social Service Agency (BPJS) data, nationally the number of occupational accidents in the construction sector is recorded as the most national sector of the number of occupational accidents. Managerial finance is important to assist the process of making decisions related to work safety. While the regulations and provisions concerning occupational, health, and safety (OHS) financing in Indonesia in the construction sector, especially in buildings, have not been clearly and measurably regulated. In its implementation, the existing regulations have not been fully followed by construction actors even within the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing itself. Architectural works on building construction, in this case, the construction of rental apartments is a job that has the highest number of work items compared to other types of work items. This study resulted in standardized Work Breakdown Structure, safety risks identification, mitigation risks and the component of safety cost for Architectural Works in Rental Apartments Building Construction Project.

OHSMS has become the main part of the establishment’s lifeline and a prerequisite for its stability in the 21st century. There is a growing need for OHSMS, in its ability to solve occupational accidents and also to develop a robust relationship among the stakeholders. The mission of OHSMS has not been followed in the Nigerian construction industry. The study, therefore, explores the barriers to the development of OHSMS in the Nigerian construction industry. The study adopted a literature review of OHSMS and thereafter, 300 structured questionnaires were administered to the construction professionals in the built environment of the Nigerian nation’s Capital-Abuja. 247 of the administered questionnaires were returned, considered for the analysis of the study. The data were analysed with SPSS and excel. The findings of the study indicate that the lack of commitment of the government, inefficient regulatory authorities, and lack of expertise in the OHS activities are the major barriers to the development of OHSMS. The study recommends collaborative efforts from the construction organizations, employees, and construction professionals to support the government on the OHSMS.

Building project as one of the construction services are filled with varying risks during the construction phase of the project implementation. At the stage of the project implementation, risks may arise either the risk of time, cost and those which affect the quality of the project. Therefore, we need to understand the risks at the construction phase and mitigation to the risks to meet in execution of project based on initial planning. The study was conducted to identify the risks in the implementation of construction projects of government buildings by using survey methods that aim to get the opinion of the respondents regarding the risks at implementation of the government building construction projects in the city of Dili - Timor Leste. Further, it was done a risk assessment to determine the major or main risks. Major risk is controlled through mitigation measures and allocation of risks to the parties directly involved in construction projects such as Project Owner, Technical Supervisor, Consultant Design, Consultant Supervision and Contractor. The analysis used in this study is a qualitative analysis. The results showed 64 risks identified in the implementation of construction projects there are 10 government buildings risks (16%) with an unacceptable category, 18 risks (28%) with the undesirable category, 28 risks (44%) with acceptable category and 8 risks (12%) with negligible category. Ownership of major / main risk to the parties directly involved in the implementation of construction projects such as the project owner, technical supervisor, consultant design, consultant supervision and contractors. The project Owner and Technical Supervision (Department of Public Works) is expected to further enhance the ability to manage projects so not throwing responsibility in managing government projects. consultant design and sonsultant supervision to be more careful in design till supervision during the implementation period so as to meet the cost, quality and time planned. Contractors are expected to further improve the performance of the building construction project.

The Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has resulted in significant delays and cost overrun in construction projects. The implementation of health and safety (H&S) technologies is one of the most important strategies to alleviate the adverse impacts of COVID-19 on the construction industry and help the industry adapt to the new normal. This study aims to evaluate the adoption of H&S technologies for pandemic management in the construction sector under the COVID-19 pandemic. Semi-structured interviews with eighteen practitioners engaged from construction companies and technology firms were conducted to collect their views on the driving forces and issues of the adoption of H&S technologies for pandemic management in Chinese construction projects. The results reveal that the major H&S technologies used included the health quick response (QR) code system, artificial intelligence (AI)-powered fever monitoring, and site access control system. These technologies were reported to be effective in preventing the spread of the pandemic in workplaces. The findings of the study amplify that the pandemic may serve as an acceleration of the adoption of H&S technologies in the construction sector. Other technologies, such as building information modeling, drones, AI-based safety monitoring, and robotics, however, were seldom used in the studied projects. The interviewees addressed several problems regarding the implementation of these technologies. High costs of technologies, a lack of client support, and disruptions to the normal work process were the main hurdles of the adoption of these technologies. The results indicated that the external influence factor—the COVID-19 pandemic—could considerably drive the use of H&S technologies, whereas the internal influence factors—cost and compatibility of technology—might be the major barriers to technology adoption. To encourage the wider use of H&S technologies in construction, the government is recommended to support the technology transformation by granting financial subsidies for costs involved in innovation adoption. Project owners may consider investing substantially in H&S technologies that can strengthen their resilient and innovative ability to adapt to the post-COVID-19 landscape. The present results will be useful to industry stakeholders and researchers interested in developing H&S technologies for combating the COVID-19 pandemic and future crises.

The Construction of the $1.2 billion Vancouver Island Highway Project provided an opportunity for the building trades unions and the Government of BC to negotiate an innovative collective agreement that included union membership, training for local residents and members of equity groups, new employment opportunities for members of designated equity groups and a comprehensive health and safety program.The Project implemented the most comprehensive system of tracking progress in employment equity in BC’s history. By its completion, women, First Nations, persons with disabilities and visible minorities accounted for just under 20% of total hours worked in an industry where 2% representation is the norm. Over 94% of payroll went to local residents, ensuring their communities the benefits of this major capital project. Finally, the health and safety record was significantly better than on any comparable construction project. Far from being an impediment to the efficient and timely completion of this major construction project, the collective agreement made it possible to deliver training, employment opportunities and regional development

Lack of awareness of workers is one of the factors causing work accidents that have occurred. This cannot be done as it should, so there are still frequent work accidents involving construction project workers. In the Bogor region itself, the issue of work safety is also a special concern of the government in realizing development. The method used by the author in this study is a descriptive legal normative research method, the implementation of work safety protection for construction project workers in Bogor City is still not running optimally, this is due to the absence of an agreement between workers and employers. Because in general construction project workers only have a working relationship with third parties outside the construction company. So that the participation of the government is needed to resolve work safety issues for construction project workers. The legal consequence arising from the absence of a work agreement for construction project workers is that they do not receive work health and safety insurance, other than that the wages received do not correspond to what has been provided by the company, because there is a third party tasked with coordinating these workers, so construction project workers do not have legal protection as mandated by law.

The Impact

Purpose The coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has affected the global economy and, thus, the global construction industry. This paper aims to study the impact of COVID-19 on construction project performance in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a qualitative and exploratory approach to investigate the impact of COVID-19 and its policies on project performance in the UAE construction industry in critical areas of the project management body of knowledge (e.g. schedule, cost, resources and contracts). Semi-structured interview questions were asked from ten construction professional to obtain valuable insights into the pandemic’s effects on the UAE construction industry and the effectiveness of policies implemented to rectify the damage and identify the industry’s new normal. Findings The findings indicate that the construction industry faced several challenges such as schedule delays, disrupted cashflows, delayed permits, approvals and inspections, travel restrictions, serious health and safety concerns, material and equipment shortages, among others which hindered the timely delivery of construction projects. It also indicates that efforts made by the government institutions and the construction industry of the UAE such as economic support programs, digitization of processes, fee and fine waivers, health facilities, among other statutory relaxations proved effective in supporting the construction industry against the adverse effects of the pandemic. Research limitations/implications The research findings are limited to the literature review and ten semi-structured interviews seeking an expert’s opinion from industry professionals working in the UAE construction industry. The research team did not get access to project documents, contracts and project progress reports which may be required to validate the interview findings, and to perform an in-depth analysis quantifying the impact of COVID 19 on construction projects performance, which is a limitation of this research. Practical implications The implication is that, owing to the imposed lockdowns and strict precautionary measures to curb the rapid spread of the pandemic, smooth execution of the construction project across the country was affected. The government institutions and stakeholders of the construction projects introduced and implemented various techniques and solutions which effectively handled the implications of the COVID-19 pandemic on the construction industry of the UAE. Originality/value This study has identified the challenges faced by the construction industry of the UAE in the context of the management of project schedule, project cost, construction contracts, health and safety of construction employees and other related aspects of the construction projects. This study also identified the techniques and solutions adopted by various public and private institutions of the country and their implications on construction projects. Therefore, this study provides guidelines for policymakers and future research studies alike.

Unorganized Sector

A large number of workers are engaged in the construction sector. Out of them approximately 30% are women workers. Construction industry is the major source of employment for workers in the unorganized sector. In India, construction industry is the second largest employer when compared to agriculture and covers others allied field of activities in the civil, mechanical and electrical area also. The Indian construction labor force is 7.5% of the total world labor force and it contributes to 16.4% of fatal global occupational accidents. A study was conducted on 30 construction workers working on different sites of hisar city. A questionnaire was used for collecting general information and for specific information. Data reveals that 56.66% of the respondents were in 26-35 years of age group followed by 86% of the respondents were married. 63.33% of the respondents were living in village. 83.33% of the respondents’ family consists of more than 5 members followed by 73.33% of the respondents’ family has two earning members. Body discomfort level was also analyzed by using Relative Important Index. Conclusively, Construction sector falls under unorganized sector of an economy. They are working under unsecured environment or work culture. The scenario only can be changed with the government intervention, by implementing the policies strictly.

AbstrakPermasalahan K3 di Indonesia masih kurang diperhatikan, padahal sektor konstruksi merupakan sektor yang berisiko terhadap kecelakaan kerja disamping sektor lainnya. Banyak faktor yang dapat memicu penyebab terjadinya risiko kecelakaan kerja. Oleh karena itu penting untuk diketahui potensi penyebab terjadinya risiko kecelakaan kerja sehingga tujuan penelitian ini melakukan penilaian penyebab risiko kecelakaan kerja pada proyek kontruksi. Metode yang digunakan untuk melakukan penilaian tersebut dengan metode ANP  menggunakan sofware Matlab. Penyebab terjadinya risiko K3 pada bidang kontruksi didominasi oleh kriteria struktur  44% dibandingkan dengan kriteria persiapan 17%, kriteria sub struktur 21% dan kriteria finishing 19%. Penyebab risiko kecelakaan kerja yang paling besar disebabkan oleh faktor manusia 77%, faktor ini disebabkan karena perilaku tidak aman meliputi kurang pengetahuan K3, pekerja kurang disiplin, pekerja tidak menggunakan APD, komitmen K3 kurang, tidak mengikuti pelatihan K3, kesalahan transformasi informasi, Metode kontruksi tidak benar, Pondasi scaffolding tidak padat pada tempat yang datar. Sedangkan penyebab kecelakaan kerja lainnya seperti  scaffolding ambruk, kabel terkena air konsleting, kabel terkelupas, tersentuh aliran listrik, lokasi becek, lumpur, amblas. Upaya dalam pengendalian risiko kecelakaan kerja yaitu perbaikan manajemen K3 dan pelatihan K3 dalam meningkatkan komitmen K3 dengan adanya pengendalian risiko diharapkan dapat meminimalkan risiko (zero accident) pada pekerjaan kontruksi.  Abstract[Multi Criteria On the Assessment of Accidents Causes in Occupational Risk in Construction Project By Analytical Network Process Method] Even though the construction sector is a sector with high risk of occupational accidents beside other sectors, the  problem of occupational health and safety (OHS) in contruction sector is still gaining less attention in Indonesia. Many factors can trigger the cause of occupational accidents risk. Therefore, it is important to understand the potential causes of occupational accidents risk. This research is intended to assess the risk of occupational accidents on construction projects. We use analytical network process (ANP) method running on Matlab software to perform the assessment. It is found that the cause of risk in OHS for construction sector is dominated by structure criterion (44%), followed by preparation criterion (17%), sub-structure criterion (21%) and finishing criterion (19%). The biggest cause of occupational accidents is human factor by 77%, this factor is caused by unsafety behavior which include lack of knowledge in OHS, indisciplined workers, ignoring the use of personal protective equipment (PPE), lack of commitment in practicing OHS, no OHS training, missinformation, incorrect construction method, and scaffolding foundation is not solid on a flat area. While the cause of other occupational accidents includes collapsing scaffolding, wires exposed to water, peeled cable, unintentional touch of electrical current, muddy site, mud, and avalanche. Some efforts in controlling the risk of  occupational accidents includes improving OHS management and OHS training to improve OHS commitment. It is expected that by controlling the risk, accidents in contruction work can be minimized (zero accident).Keywords: Assessment; Risk Causes; Work Accidents.

<p><strong><em>Abstarct</em></strong></p><em>Basically ratification of the GPA for Indonesia is the opening of the Indonesian market (market access) to the entrepreneur/companies from other countries, which means allowing entrepreneur/foreign companies to participate in the process of procurement of goods and services (PBJ) government in Indonesia. Similarly, the reverse with Indonesian companies. The existence of market acess makes the relation between national with international law. This is a reason of  authors are interested to know further the relationship conformity with international law related to the readiness of the national Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) when Indonesia ratified the GPA views of the setting methods for selecting/ auction in the construction sector in national legislation. The method used is a normative juridical research and the purpose of research to give recommendation to the Ministry PUPR particularly regarding setting methods for selecting the procurement of construction services when Indonesia ratified the GPA. If viewed from the side PBJ arrangements in the Government in the field of construction, especially regarding the purpose, principles and method of election of, the results showed that Ministry PUPR not ready when Indonesia ratified the GPA, because there is a difference between setting purpose PBJ contained in Perpres No. 54/2010 and its amendments as well as Permen PU No 07/2010 and amendments that more give protection to national companies, while GPA has the open principle. In addition there are differences about the method of selecting good views of the types/forms (nomenclature) and its meaning. So that when Indonesia will ratify the GPA, the Government and the Ministry PUPR in particular need to make adjustments to the "purpose" of regulation PBJ as contained in the Perpres/Permen PU with "purpose" contained in the GPA. Similarly, adjustments to the forms (nomenclature) and the meaning of the audition method.</em>
