Factors contribute to public accidents in the Malaysian construction industry: Construction workers' overview.

In Malaysia, the construction industry faced a wide range of challenges, one of which is the public accident and injury at the construction sites. Construction is well known as a labor-intensive industry, thus the need to provide awareness to construction workers regarding public accidents should be the main consideration during the project implementation. On the other hand, the unsafe acts of construction workers are also considered major contributors to public accidents and injuries at construction sites. Therefore, the aim of this study is to analyze the factors that are related to the construction workers which contribute to public accidents in the Malaysian Construction Industry. The researcher has devised two (2) objectives to accomplish the study's purpose; (1) to explore public accident cases in the construction industry, and (2) to identify the factors related to construction workers that contribute to public accidents in the Malaysian construction industry. A snowballing technique was applied through the reference list and the findings reveal thirty-one (31) factors that are related to the construction workers which lead to public accidents and injury in the Malaysian Construction Industry. It is hoped that this study will raise awareness and assist construction workers in comprehending factors that emerge in the construction industry. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
