Construction activities involve a lot of risk as workers are exposed to a wide range of job hazards, such as working at height, moving vehicles, toxic substances, and confined spaces. The hazards related to a construction project are mostly unpredictable because construction projects move quickly due to project deadlines, and changing work environments. As a result of this, the industry accounts for one of the highest numbers of work-related claims, and the fourth highest incidence rate of serious claims in Australia. This research investigates how key safety management factors can measure the characteristics of high reliability organisations (HROs) in the construction industry in New South Wales Australia. To address the problem, a model is presented that can predict characteristics of HRO in construction (CHC). Using structural equation modeling (SEM), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), the model and measurement instruments are tested and validated from data collected from construction workers. The results identified the factors that effectively measure CHC, and the findings can also be used as a safety management strategy and will contribute to the body of knowledge in research.
建筑施工活动涉及到大量的风险，因为工人面临着各种各样的工作危害，如高空作业、移动车辆、有毒物质和有限空间等。与建筑项目相关的危害大多是不可预测的，因为建筑项目由于项目截止日期和不断变化的工作环境而迅速推进。因此，该行业的工伤索赔数量最多，在澳大利亚，工伤索赔的严重程度排名第四。本研究调查了关键安全管理因素如何衡量澳大利亚新南威尔士州建筑行业中高可靠性组织（HRO）的特点。为了解决这个问题，提出了一个可以预测建筑中 HRO 特点的模型（CHC）。该模型使用结构方程建模（SEM）和验证性因素分析（CFA），从建筑工人收集的数据中对模型和测量工具进行了测试和验证。结果确定了有效衡量 CHC 的因素，这些发现也可以作为安全管理策略使用，并将为研究领域的知识体系做出贡献。
