Relationship among Safety, Quality and Productivity in Construction Projects

Abstract

Construction is thought to be the most dangerous business due to its unique nature. To reduce risks and boost productivity in the construction industry, quality and safety management is required. The research examines productivity, quality, and safety in terms of their participation in and effects on the execution of building projects. Safety is given first priority throughout construction, with a focus on hazard detection and the prevention of workplace injuries and accidents. There is an examination and provision of the legislation requiring safety programs, training, and obligation to safety standards. Underlined the significance of safety issues at the design stage. The research also discusses safety of building and the importance of building codes in preventing structural failure, as well as factors that influence building failure and techniques for preventing them. The paper introduces quality through the lens of recent total quality management. Quality control, quality management, quality assurance, and Six Sigma concepts are addressed with examples in relation to building quality and structural integrity. Finally, concepts of productivity are provided, with an emphasis that good project management reduce productivity losses and the use of lean construction and lean Six Sigma methods to complement them. Finally, the report summarizes the relationship among safety, quality, and productivity.

Evaluating the Contribution of Lean Construction to Achieving Sustainable Development Goals

“…The strategic implementation of minimizing non-value-adding activities (L1) exhibits a profound economic connection with SDG Target 8.2, which emphasizes the imperative to achieve elevated economic productivity through diversification, technological upgrades, and innovation by efficiently curtailing time-and resource-intensive processes; this is what some research has suggested when matches with lean construction have contributed to heightened economic productivity [33,98].…”

“…Incorporating continuous improvement (L9) into construction processes also improves safety, health, and community comfort [98]. Moreover, continuous improvement requires robust performance measurement systems.…”

“…L1, L2, L4, L8 9.2; 11.6; 12.5 [97] A "lean" benchmark can be developed to provide comparative measurements of CO 2 for precast concrete products. L11 9.5; 12.6 [98] Lean construction principles can be used to enhance productivity, safety, and quality. L1, L2 8.2; 6.3; [99] Prefabrication can help standardization, minimize time, enhance quality assurance, and cut down material waste.…”

Analisa Potensi Bahaya Kecelakaan Kerja Terhadap Pekerja Menggunakan Metode Hazard Identification, Risk Assement And Risk Control (HIRARC) Pada Perusahaan Aspal Beton

“…Selain itu, keselamtan juga dapat diartikan terbebas dari resiko, kerugian dan kerusakan. [1]- [9]Kecelakaan kerja disebabkan oleh dua faktor, yaitu aspek manusia dan aspek lingkungan dan/atau kombinasi dari keduanya [1] . Aspek manusia berkaitan dengan tindakan manusia yang tidak nyaman, seperti mengabaikan standar operasional prosedur (SOP) yang telah dirintis oleh industri, sedangkan aspek lingkungan umumnya berkaitan dengan cahaya, udara dan suhu, tekanan mental.…”
