Research On The Check And Balance Mechanism Of Construction Safety Supervision Based On The Internal Control Theory

Construction safety supervision in China maily reflected in two aspects. On the one hand,some mandatory rules of law are fundamented to bind the behavior of construction parties. Onthe other hand, they will take action for regular traking and supervision. However, the currentlaws and regulation can only provide a minimus standard and it is impossible to prevent allaccidents, so the supervision is needed to play an important role. At present, the internalcontrol mechanism has not invole the power and responsibilities between the parities, andthere is no systematic, binding and easy way to take supervision. As a result, the constructionsafety supervision fails a lot, thus causing the inefficient of the supervision. To solve thisproblem, this thesis built the check and balance mechanism based on internal control theroywhich dealt with the problem by dividing responsibilities in advance, concurrent clearing thehidden trouble and finding out the one to be blamed after the accidents.The check and balance mechanism of the construction safety supervision is consist ofthree modules, namely, the design for dividing the responsibilities, the design for clearing thehidden trouble and program for finding out the one to take responsibility. Among them, theright allocation is the core, and it is designed to make the allocation at a better state and toprevent the accumulation of power and responsibilities. Investigating the hidden trouble is animportant mean to provide security, it is designed to ensure the subjects will implement inaccordance with the law. To blame the one in fault is a strong and complementary controlmeasure to improve people’s responsibility consciousness by punishing, thus strengthen theeffciency and effect of the control activities. The details are as follows:First, this thesis used WBS to identify the supervision tasks of each subject based on thestudy of the laws. Then build the responsibility matrix by the thought of incompatible dutiesin internal control theroy and established the communication between the parities before,induring and after the accident by interface management.Second, this thesis selected the hazards that are most prone to happen in the constructionas the object according to the accident type and extract the information about the security byWBS. This can fix the critical control point by qualitative analysis. Combined with theHAZOP, this thesis designed the process for clearing the hidded trouble.At last, this thesis takes the falling as an example, designed the process for investigationby analyzing the cause, accounting the accident liability and punishing the person in charge.Though the above research, this thesis formed the division of the responsibilities, theclearance of the hidden trouble and the investigation of the accident together to creat a checkand balance mechanism, this can play a complementary role when the supervison mechanismfails to take effect.
