碩士 === 國立台灣工業技術學院 === 營建工程技術研究所 === 85 === Occupational safety and health has become the focus of international attention during the past few years. The Taiwanese government has also poured massive fund allocations for high-risk construction projects, in the hope to improvement the high-risk conditions encountered in the construction industry. Hence, the government passed laws that require the implementation of a "safety assessment" procedure in all high- risk construction sites before any job may be started.As most domestic construction companies are not well acquainted with the "safety assessment" procedure, results of procedures implemented were inadequate. Another problem is that safety assessment is not included into the design phase. Therefore, this paper shall analyze the role of safety assessment in construction management, as well as introduce the appropriate safety assessment needed to be implemented together with a particular construction management measure in the various phases of the construction engineering life cycle. Findings of this paper may serve as references for the industry and, hopefully, contribute to the occupational safety and health measures of the construction industry.
