“…OHS material is an important issue because it involves the mentality of workers and the sustainability of a construction job. Various efforts have been made so that OHS gets special attention in various fields, both directly (Senouci, Al-Abbadi, & Eldin, 2015), integration in BIM (Ganah & John, 2015) as well as by using various OHS instruments and models (Arthur, Rouf, Rahmayanti, & Maulana, 2019;Endroyo, Yuwono, Mardapi, & Soenarto, 2015;Zahoor, Chan, Utama, & Gao, 2015). But more than that, OHS should have been studied since school and college through learning (Grytnes, Grill, Pousette, Törner, & Nielsen, 2017;Q.…”

This study aims to produce animation learning media on OHS courses with the help of software. This research uses Lee & Owens development research model. This research is done through 5 stages, namely assessment or analysis, design, development, implementation, evaluation. This research uses questionnaires to test the feasibility of learning media products through the validation of material experts and media experts. Assessments from students using scale instruments designed for validation of experts, materials, students, and construction skilled workers. Learning media products in the form of five animated videos. The rating by media experts of 87.13% is considered highly feasible. The assessment by the material expert scored at 81.43 which is categorized as very feasible. Assessments by students through limited trials scored 85, 86% of which were categorized as highly feasible. Assessments by construction skilled workers through limited trials get a value of 87% which is also categorized as highly feasible.

“…Consequently, over the eleven years leading up to it, it has been anticipated that at least 100 billion US dollars will be invested into the region's infrastructure and sporting facilities (Roscoe 2010). Such massive investment in development programmes is likely to continue to see a boom in the Qatari construction market with both global and local firms in the industry battling for market shares (Senouci, Al-Abbadi, and Eldin 2015). The growth will create opportunities for increased employment of Qatari nationals, whilst also continuing to attract highly qualified expatriates to the region.…”

This paper provides empirical and contextual insight into the complexity of Self-Initiated Expatriates' (SIEs) experiences in a unique setting. Factors that influence SIEs in the civil engineering industry, when considering overseas employment in Qatar, are identified and considered. Drawing comparison to organisational expatriates (OEs) and builds on the work of Doherty, Dickmann, and Mills (2011), this paper uses semistructured interviews conducted with professionals from the civil engineering and construction industries. The research surfaced that different factors interconnect to affect individuals' decisions about overseas employment. Three factors, specifically; location appeal, host country as an employment setting and effect of expatriation on family, appear to be more influential to participants when the proposed destination is Qatar.

“…The Contractor as a partner with the Owner in the project contract, have both failed in their contractual duties to provide appropriate levels of safety as required under an EPC contract (Huse, 2002;EPC FIDIC, 1999 -s4.8). To help mitigate the raised safety issues, contractor site management should develop and apply substantial and realistic safety plans (Senouci, Al-Abbadi & Eldin, 2015;HSG65, 2013). In terms of engaging independent authorities responsible for reviewing critical aspects of site operations, the Contractor should adopt appropriate risk management plans (Flanagan & Norman, 1999;Damnjanovic & Reinschmidt, 2020) and risk registers (Barry, 1995;Patterson & Neailey, 2002).…”

“…5, No. 1 (Senouci, Al-Abbadi & Eldin, 2015) as it reflected serious and significant on-site safety failures (Sherratt, 2016) and demonstrated non-compliance to appropriate standards and legislation (BS 6164, 2011;The Explosives Act, 1884;The Explosives Rules, 2008). Consequently, it would appear that the contractor management did not give serious consideration to how explosives was used at site, did not have an operational explosives management plan, nor to ensure how explosives audit trails (traceability - Pryke, 2009) were effective (ER2014, 2014Commission Directive, 2008).…”

This is research is focused on the evaluation of Owner Engineer perceptions and its impacts on Explosives management practices and developments related to an Engineering, Procurement and Construction Contract (EPC) Tunnel Construction Project in Kashmir using an interpretive methodology.The scope for this research was the Owner engineer project team. The population of interest was made up of 13 senior engineers, encompassing a multi-site EPC Tunnel Construction Project. Eleven (11) senior engineers were carefully targeted as a designed sample size.The research outcomes consisted of three (3) Main Themes - Site Safety; Explosives Management and Security Issues and fourteen (14) sub-themes, with 387 dialogue targets.The paper addresses a variety of major issues resulting from the analysis of narrative data relating to Owner project safety leaderships and raises determinations of the implications for managing safety at the project sites and in the wider community.
