Hazard Management In High-rise Building Construction Projects

In recent years, with the rapid development of China’s national economy, the field of engineering construction projects are gradually expand the scale of construction, the construction industry has become an important pillar industry of China’s national economy, but the low quality of employees, problems of high employee turnover, harsh operating environment, all these inherent characteristics determine enormous difficulty of construction management. Both government and corporate managers have considered safety management as more and more important issues. Increasing amount and height of high-rise building led the construction industry to face enormous challenges in safety management. How to effectively control incidents, to eliminate accidental injuries security risks, project safety management has an urgent need to develop a framework to solve the problem.Various safety incidents occurring continuously is caused by the existence of hazard. The aim of this dissertation is to explore the key aspects in hazard management in the high-rise building construction process. To achieve this, in-depth analysis and re-definition of hazard’s constituent elements and identification of these element’s characteristics was carried out. A standard hazard management process is established as followed: first step is identification, then evaluation and final control as the main line; and further research are conducted on this three steps. A cases in Xiamen is evaluated and deduced with the proposed framework. The research conclude that a checklist of hazard is basically useful for routine inspection, the identification of hazard is fundamental for further evaluation. The choice of a suitable evaluation method is very important in the system of hazard management. It is very critical for finding effective hazard management measure. Safety Supervision Agency plays an important role in construction safety control system and hazards management on behalf of the State. The significances of this research will produce a very important guideline for high-rise building construction site safety management, and provides help for improving construction safety management quality in industry.
