| Abstract | This paper describes an exploratory study of site safety management in construction sites’ environments in Hong Kong and describes a successful, modern safety, health and environmental management system for a leading construction company based in that city. A typical site-specific safety plan was utilized to provide safety guidance throughout the construction project. A safety management survey was conducted to determine the status of safety in the construction sites. The analysis provided useful information on eight aspects of construction safety, including safety policy and standards, safety organization, safety training, inspecting hazardous conditions, personal protection program, plant and equipment, safety promotion, and management behavior. Insights and discussions are discussed. |
