Background of Study
THE IMPACT OF SAFETY AND HEALTH CONSTRUCTION WORKERS’ AWARENESS
TOWARDS CONSTRUCTION WORKFORCE OF SAFETY INFORMATION DEPENDING ON
PRODUCTIVITY PHYSICAL AND MENTAL LOAD

Neglect: Due in large part to the wide
indifference for safety protocols among
management and labour, Malaysia's construction
industry has an inadequate safety record.
Unpredictable Deviations: The industry's
frequent and inconsistent deviation from
proposed safety measures are proof that stated
courses of action are not consistently followed.
Inadequate Safety Measures: Issues including
inadequate self-preparation, dangerous practices,
and a lack of safety gear are an important
reminder of the industry's challenges.
Ensure safety procedures are implemented on the
building site.
Adhere to safety protocols to prevent mishaps,
injuries, and health risks.
Safeguard all individuals on the site, not just
construction workers.
Address the impact on everyone, including
children, in case of accidents.

Insufficient knowledge about PPE is a contributing
factor to incidents in Malaysia.
PPE is the lowest level of control and provides an
essential line of defence for employees who may
be in risk.

Examples of PPE: respirators, full body suits, - Ulang et al, n.d. -

What impact do safety
training courses and the
availability of personal
protective equipment (PPE)
have on the perceptions of
construction workers
regarding the promotion of
their own safety and well
being on the job site?
What is the most significant
risk and safety concern that
construction workers at sites
have identified, and how do
they feel that current
practices are handling these
concerns?
How do construction workers
handle the communication
difficulties posed by cultural
diversity on the job site? What
measures can be taken to enhance
cross cultural communication for
increased worker safety?

Scope of Research
MANUAL PROCESSES
Examining the existing
worker safety management
practices on construction
sites will be the main
objective of the study.
TRANSPORTATION
The research aims to shed
light on potential areas for
development and provide an
analysis of the benefits and
drawbacks of existing
procedures.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
Investigating a variety of
subjects, such as obstacles to
communication, safety training
initiatives, danger recognition,
availability and use of personal
protective equipment (PPE),
safety procedures, and overall
contentment with existing
safety measures.
SUPPLIER RELIABILITY
The study will largely use
secondary research sources,
such as publications,
industry reports, and
academic journals, to gather
data and information.
 04
Limits of Research
MANUAL PROCESSES
The data and information
acquired for this study will
be based on previously
published works and existing
literature since
secondary research will be
employed in this
investigation.
TRANSPORTATION
-This can lessen the accuracy
and depth of the findings.
INVENTORY MANAGEMENT
The use of secondary research
methodology will provide
valuable insights on the current
condition of construction worker
safety,
and the constraints will be
acknowledged during the data
analysis process.
SUPPLIER RELIABILITY
Worker interviews or on-site
data collection will not be
conducted for this project.
Because of this, it's possible
that contextual or
real-time information that
might be important in specific
construction contexts was
missed in the research.

Significance of Study
Address Knowledge Gaps: Research fills gaps in
understanding and knowledge.
Fresh Perspectives: Offers new viewpoints and insights.
ADDRESS KNOWLEDGE GAPS Problem Resolution: Contributes to solving existing issues.
Decision-Making Support: Aids in informed decision-making.
Field Advancement: Drives progress in specific fields or
disciplines.

FRESH PERSPECTIVES - Study provides guidance for businesses to implement safer

practices in projects.
