Abstract

The function of safety is to locate and define an operational error that allows accident to occur. Previous research suggested that this function could essentially be achieved in two ways—by studying both the causes of accidents and the effectiveness of known controls being utilized. This research draws from the successful experiences of accident prevention key elements worldwide. There are many available theories on the accident accusation. The earliest models of accident causation were simple where subsequence event from the initiation of the chain to its conclusion in the accident. Lack of study was found in Malaysian environment. Thus, this research aims to create proactive measure for accident prevention in construction sites through the adaptive of accident causation theories, which signifies the identification on how hazard in construction sites causes losses. The objectives of the research are to investigate the essential elements from the available theories of the accident causation and to generate adaptive theories for accident prevention. The reviewed on accident accusation theories revealed that the shift in emphasis on the role of the management, and considered the causes of accidents are provoked among others, by actions of contractors. Thus the constraint includes the influence of management, the organisational and the environment factors that demand to be addressed to reduce the causes of an accident. The findings will contribute to the ongoing research for the development of an adaptive prevention theory for construction workplace environment. This is also directly matched to the Strategic Trust No. 3 Construction Industry Master Plan (CIMP 2006–2015), strive for the highest standard of quality, occupational safety and health and environmental practices.
