Zhang, J (2012) Developing a construction safety management and audit system. PhD thesis, National University of Singapore, Singapore.
Abstract
This research proposes a two dimensional framework, construction safety audit scoring system (ConSASS-2D) to guide the design, audit and planning of a safety management system (SMS). ConSASS-2D consists of grouped process areas with each process area structured by goals and supporting practices. The two fundamental dimensions of this framework include the capability dimension characterized by increasing capability levels. This dimension provides a systematic and logical basis for the design and audit of individual process areas. The other dimension of ConSASS-2D progresses an SMS by addressing groups of process areas. The role and contribution of the grouped process areas towards the overall qualities of the SMS has been elaborated in the definition of maturity levels.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
