The purpose of this study is to analyze the correlation between safety climate and productivity for actual construction projects. The safety climate of the case projects was analyzed using the Nordic occupational safety climate questionnaire for the participants of the projects, and the resources used for the main work were used to analyze productivity. Many researchers have concluded that if the safety climate in a construction business improves, the rate of human accidents decreases. A decrease in accidents or injuries means that the quality of labor is improved; productivity can be expected to increase as a result. However, some site engineers argue that there is a dilemma since management costs increase when the safety climate is improved. If quantitative analysis of the correlation between safety climate and construction productivity can be performed, the results may show that additional costs to improve the safety climate are offset by productivity gains. As a result of regression analysis, we concluded that there is a significant relationship between safety climate and productivity. In the future, our findings can be used as a reference for developing a construction productivity prediction model as influenced by the safety climate.
本研究旨在分析实际建筑项目中的安全氛围与生产力之间的相关性。使用北欧职业安全气候问卷对项目参与者进行了案例项目的安全氛围分析,并利用主要工作的资源来分析生产力。许多研究人员得出结论,如果建筑企业的安全氛围得到改善,人为事故的发生率就会降低。事故或伤害的减少意味着劳动质量得到了提高;因此,生产力有望提高。然而,一些现场工程师认为存在一个困境,因为当安全氛围得到改善时,管理成本会增加。如果可以对安全氛围与建筑生产力之间的相关性进行定量分析,结果可能表明,提高安全氛围的额外成本可以通过生产力的提高来弥补。通过回归分析,我们得出结论,安全氛围与生产力之间存在显著关系。未来,我们的研究结果可以作为参考,为开发受安全氛围影响的建筑生产力预测模型提供依据。
