Summary: | 碩士 === 長榮大學 === 職業安全與衛生學系碩士在職專班 === 103 === The most intriguing of “Highlights for promoting selection of excellent public works and personnel in occupational safety and health” is that the government uses administrative rules to award those who have had significant contributions as project organizers or civil public works investors in occupational safety and health. The country not only gives merits, medals and award money, the government also lists them in the superior enterprise database, which then allows the companies to pay the deposit for superior enterprises, receive reductions for performance bonds and mitigation of labor inspections on projects. Due to the various types of engineering technology, and the globalization of groups involving in public works, the hazards in need of prevention vary accordingly.
This research used the commissioned supervision service for construction operation and management as a starting point and compared it to the related domestic laws. Afterwards, an outline for self-management policies, safe supervision techniques, emergency response for disaster prevention and relief work near water, post-disaster communications and other special mechanisms. Here, a foundation construction (boring pile) and hoisting of steel box type bridges was used as an example. Beginning from pre-construction preparation, to the inspections of the inspection points by the supervision units during construction, to the lack of safety during construction, the hazard factors were analyzed while using “Flood control and risk assessment form” and “Foundation construction (boring pile) risk control form” to conduct risk assessment; among them, the questionnaire for the supervision engineers focused on a trust evaluation of the safety culture of the owners of the contractor personnel, the form of safety leadership by the supervisors and contradictions regarding safety for construction firms. Another focus was the discussion of lack of work for the construction workers. It was discovered that utilizing occupational safety and health laws in construction standards aided in the establishment of safety culture; if the form of safety leadership by the supervisors was high concern high control, it would help in both safety and progress aspects. Good dialog between the construction firms and supervision units result in mutual trust which is positive for the advocacy and promotion of safety, while also diminishing the contradictory mentality of workers and unsafe behavior during construction.
For the occupational safety and health mentality in mountain work, not only is construction safety under normal circumstances important, the hazards during construction on shale rock and mudslide zones are important as well. Another important aspect to consider are local epidemics and biological hazards from wildlife such as, fire ants, poisonous snakes, Dengue fever vector mosquitos, rabies, West Nile virus, E.coli etc. Moreover, due to tourism and neighboring policies, it is recommended in the future that related technicians who have Level A or B qualifications should be used as transnational engineers, Asia-Pacific engineers and recognized professional engineers.
In the future, related engineering units should utilize this outline for public works and for reference in the engineering field during events held by the Ministry of Labor.
