“…ISSN 2377-3219 2018 The job descriptions from the other sectors had moderate quality, such as manufacturing (3.6±0.2), education/training (3.5±1.0), construction (3.5±0.9) and SRD (3.3±0.6). The low quality of job descriptions from these sectors is in line with the low OSH performance found in other studies related to manufacturing sector (Al-Ghamri, 2017;Noweir, et al, 2013) and construction sector (Mosly, 2015;Al Haadir and Panuwatwanich, 2011). Furthermore, Kadasah (2015) concluded that the service sector and educational institutions came far after manufacturing sector in OSH performance.…”

“…The official bodies necessitate that companies adopt OSH policies and also to pay great attention to the importance of safety means (Al-Ghamri, 2017). The reasons behind such growing interest in OSH are many, of which the low level of safety performance found in many studies (Taylan et al, 2017;Alsubaie, 2017;Ahmed et al, 2017;Al-Qubaisi, 2016;Mosly, 2015;Alolah et al, 2014;Noweir et al, 2013;Al Haadir and Panuwatwanich, 2011;Hassanain and Al-Mudhei, 2006) is an important one. There were some efforts to explain the poor OSH performance of the Saudi companies.…”

“…For instance, Noweir et al (2013) discussed several factors, such as improper enforcement of regulations, lack of information about OSH needs, lack of coordination among official bodies related to OSH, and lack of specialized safety professionals. Other researchers linked that performance to the organizations' safety culture (Alasmari et al, 2012, Alqubaisi, 2017 and inefficient OSH management systems (Suresh et al, 2017;Al-Darrab et al, 2013;Al Haadir and Panuwatwanich, 2011).…”

The poor occupational safety and health (OSH) performance of many sectors in Saudi Arabia necessitates studying the reasons behind this performance. While other studies addressed many potential reasons, the objective of the current study is to investigate the quality of job descriptions of the safety jobs in Saudi Arabia. A sample of 69 job descriptions for several safety job titles and from different industrial or service sectors were analyzed to discover the important factors that may have an impact. The results revealed that there are some gaps in the design of the sampled job descriptions' components, particularly in the job information and the required qualifications for the jobs. The quality of job descriptions varied from one Journal of Safety Studies

“…By adopting the analytical hierarchy process technique and Pareto principle, Al Haadir and Panuwatwanich (2011) indicated the critical success factors influencing safety program implementation in Saudi Arabia, including management support, clear and reasonable objectives, personal attitudes, teamwork, effective enforcement, safety training and suitable supervision. Moreover, Hinze, Hallowell and Baud (2013) analysed 22 safety practices implemented on construction sites for safety performance improvement.…”

Although proper safety management in construction is of utmost importance; anecdotal evidence suggests that safety is not adequately considered in many developing countries. This paper considers the key variables affecting construction safety performance in Cambodia. Using an empirical questionnaire survey targeting local construction professionals, respondents were invited to rate the level of importance of 30 variables identified from the seminal literature. The data set was subjected to factor analysis. Correlations between the variables show that five key factors underlie the challenges facing the local industry; management and organisation, resources, site management, cosmetic and workforce. It is found that the forefront construction professionals (top management and government authorities) should take more responsibilities for further improvements in safety performance on project sites. Findings and recommendations of this study may be useful to construction professional who are seeking ways to improve safety records in developing countries.

The data were extracted from health profiles of injured workers by checklist. Data were analyzed with SPSS 16 by applying of Chi square and Logistic regression tests at the significant level of P < 0.05. Results: During 2007-2010, 347 workers encountered with construction accidents and seven of them were died. Finding showed that fall and slip were cause of 36.59% of accidents. Also, carelessness was major predictor factor related to 80.96% of accidents. According to the results, 36.02% of these accidents were happened at 15.00 and 18.00 PM.
