“…As a result, it is in everyone's best interest to assign suitable contractual safety duties before the contract is executed. In the construction industry, clear assignment of safety obligations in contracts would improve overall project safety performance and reduce claims, disagreements, and disputes connected to safety injuries [41]. In the contract and documents with the contractor, the owner must state safety and health requirements [50].…”

In the construction industry, safety issues are considered major concerns. Despite recent attempts to improve safety in the construction sector, this sector is considered dangerous and unsafe. Construction safety management in Iraq is plagued by a high incidence of construction accidents, resulting in a higher number of injuries and fatalities. Creating a safety program is one strategy to alleviate this problem by making safety an intrinsic part of construction projects. Defining which factors are the most significant and have the greatest effect on safety performance is crucial to building a complete safety program. It ensures that construction companies are not wasting money on inadequate safety programs. As a result, this article aims to identify the critical safety factors that influence safety performance in Iraqi construction projects and assign a relative weight to them based on their importance. First, relevant literature was reviewed to identify the safety performance factors. Second, the Pivot Pairwise Relative Criteria Importance Assessment (PIPRECIA), a recently proposed technique for calculating criteria weights, was employed to determine the relative weight of factors. In this paper, a list of 21 sub-factors classified into 8 categories of main factors was identified. Finally, the findings of PIPRECIA show that the "Management Practices" factor has the top rank with a weight of 0.4221 among the other main safety factors. The results also showed that among the 21 sub-factors, the three with the highest weights, 0.0686, 0.0665, and 0.0619, belonged to "Personal protective equipment (PPE)", "First aid and medical care" and "Housekeeping program", which were under the "Management Practices" factor. Further, the "Regular safety inspections" and "Contractor safety rewards and punishment programs" sub-factors were identified as the least important sub-factors with weights of 0.0350 and 0.0333, respectively.

“…Experts also agreed that these two are the crucial styles for leading the construction industry, particularly in terms of safety. All validated variables and indicators are described in the Table 1 [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46].…”

The construction sector in Indonesia witnesses a significant number of work accidents, with construction sites being particularly prone to such incidents. It is imperative for stakeholders, especially project owners, to prioritize safety performance. The authorization of safety plans empowers project owners, granting them substantial influence over safety outcomes. This research employs Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) to investigate the relationship between project owners' safety leadership and safety performance, with valuable input obtained from contractors who directly interact with project owners. The identified variables encompass leader's maturity attributes, psychosocial factors, participatory approaches, communication practices, and competence levels. All interrelationships between the variables demonstrate high significance in shaping safety performance (with z-scores exceeding 1.96). Two distinct patterns are identified to characterize project owners' leadership styles. The first pattern relates to the personal maturity of the owner, while the second pattern focuses on the owner's ability to foster effective stakeholder relationships. To manifest maturity, project owners must make three key contributions: 1) ensuring safety costs are factored into the project value, 2) procuring contractors with well-defined safety policies, and 3) ensuring swift responses to accidents. These findings underscore the importance of project owners in enhancing construction safety practices, emphasizing their role beyond that of contractors.
