a b s t r a c tThis paper presents a conceptual model for increasing acceptable working environments for SMEs. It also acts as an editorial for the special issue of Safety Science on 'Managing safety in small and medium enterprises (SMEs)'. It describes how seven of the ten papers in the special issue originate from an international conference in 2013 on Understanding Small Enterprises. It includes a commentary on the papers in the special issue as well as directing the reader to all of the current state-of-the-science sources known to the authors. The paper provides a background to previous research on safety in SMEs, showing how most current policy and legislation on occupational health and safety (OSH) and the work environment is based on large enterprises and that there is a relative paucity of research on OSH in SMEs. In a summary of current knowledge, it is argued that modern OHS legislation and interventions to help improve work environments need to increasingly take account of the specific characteristics of SMEs. The conceptual model for increasing acceptable working environments for SMEs takes its onset in a legislative standard that is built into intervention programmes and includes three instrument pillars: inspection to enhance compliance, recognition of the standard by the stakeholders in the industry sector and dissemination of information to small enterprises.

“…New greenhouse construction as well as the maintenance and rehabilitation of the pre-existing ones occur mainly from June to September [59], raising high demand for labourers and making it common to hire workers without training or experience. Several authors [59e62] relate this to labour accidents in the construction industry.…”

“…Several authors [59e62] relate this to labour accidents in the construction industry. In addition, the greenhouse-construction companies are small, with limited resources and few workers [59], leading to a greater probability of accidents due to poor preventive measures [63,64]. The low-technology construction systems used in general implement few accident-prevention techniques for work safety [59,65,66].…”

“…Results indicated a low level of prevention, the lack of adopting any model of preventive management of hazards, and inadequate levels of education and training (Perez-Alonso et al 2011). At this point, it is worth pointing out that the construction industry more usually employs preliminary risk analysis and checklists.…”

Assessing risk in sustainable construction using the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM)

Traditional tools found in occupational risk assessments are a preliminary hazard analysis and checklists, both based on the isolation of a particular activity from the entire process and created for application in specific environments of manufacture. This strategy makes the results of such evaluations distant from real situations. Construction is a complex endeavor and can involve multiple contractors and groups working under each contractor. Work occurs under constant change and varying demands. In this context, as workers move through their daily journey, their health and safety are often are threatened by activities carried out by other contractors or groups. The study utilizes the Functional Resonance Analysis Method (FRAM), which aims to describe how function couplings may be combined in such a way that variability of performance, rather than failure or poor functioning, creates an occupational risk. The study also contributes to the evolution of FRAM, by proposing the application of the analytic hierarchy process, to investigate the relative importance of the criteria and alternatives for the identification of phenotypes of performance variability, as well as the aggregation of variability.
