摘要

摘要新型冠状病毒肺炎(COVID-19)突发性疫情对建筑工地健康安全造成重大影响。在此背景下,本文旨在探讨在建筑工地实施COVID-19卫生与安全措施时,特别是在发展中国家,大流行管理面临的主要挑战。在全面的文献综述之后,共确定了20个相关挑战。一项涉及马来西亚建筑从业人员的自我完成问卷调查进一步采用描述性统计来优先考虑这些挑战。最后,因子分析揭示了这些挑战的五个主要潜在维度,包括缺乏资源和建筑的固有性质、疏忽和无知、低工资蓝领劳动力、无效的卫生与安全管理以及糟糕的消毒和消毒策略。这项工作对协助行业从业者在COVID-19大流行等传染病暴发期间进一步提高卫生与安全绩效具有重要参考价值。特别是,调查结果突出了卫生与健康系统在发展中国家背景下目前的缺陷,以及为遏制未来疾病的传播制定响应性战略的必要性。关键词:挑战建筑行业covid -19大流行发展中国家健康与安全措施安全管理致谢作者对所有参与数据收集过程的行业从业者表示衷心的感谢。披露声明作者未报告潜在的利益冲突。数据可用性声明在研究过程中生成或使用的所有数据、模型和代码都出现在提交的文章中。作者要感谢马来西亚高等教育部(MOHE)在基础研究资助计划(FRGS)项目编号:FRGS/1/2022/SS02/UTAR/02/1下为题为“在马来西亚建筑安全科学和管理中采用创新技术的技术准备指数(TRI)”和UTAR研究基金(UTARRF)项目编号:IPSR/RMC/UTARRF/2021-C1/J01”的项目提供财政支持。

COVID-19 health and safety challenges on construction sites: unfolding novel dimensions for construction industries in developing countries
AbstractA sudden COVID-19 outbreak has significantly impacted construction site health and safety (H&S). Against this backdrop, this paper aimed to explore the major challenges for pandemic management in implementing COVID-19 H&S measures on construction sites, particularly in developing countries. Following a comprehensive literature review, a total of 20 relevant challenges were identified. A self-completion questionnaire survey involving Malaysian construction practitioners was further employed to prioritize these challenges using descriptive statistics. Finally, a factor analysis unfolded five major underlying dimensions of these challenges, relating to lack of resources and inherent nature of construction, negligence and ignorance, low-wage blue-collar workforce, ineffective H&S management and poor sanitizing and disinfecting strategies. This work is a valuable reference in assisting industry practitioners to further enhance H&S performance during a communicable disease outbreak such as the COVID-19 pandemic. In particular, the findings highlighted the current deficiencies of the H&S system in the context of a developing country and the necessity to devise responsive strategies in curbing the transmission of future diseases.Keywords: Challengesconstruction industryCOVID-19 pandemicdeveloping countrieshealth and safety measuressafety management AcknowledgementsThe authors express their sincere thanks to all the industry practitioners who have participated in the data collection process.Disclosure statementNo potential conflict of interest was reported by the authors.Data availability statementAll data, models and code generated or used during the study appear in the submitted article.Additional informationFundingThe authors would like to acknowledge the Ministry of Education Higher Malaysia (MOHE) for financial support under Fundamental Research Grant Scheme (FRGS) Project Number: FRGS/1/2022/SS02/UTAR/02/1 for the project entitled ‘Technology Readiness Index (TRI) for the adoption of innovative technologies in construction safety science and management in Malaysia’ and UTAR Research Fund (UTARRF) Project Number: IPSR/RMC/UTARRF/2021-C1/J01.
