Safety Leadership and Safety Culture Enhancement in Construction Projects:the Case of Ma Wan Tunnel Project
Construction accidents are primarily and directly caused by unsafe behavior.Traditional safety intervention techniques based on behavioral safety are restricted to rewards and punishments,which have a limited capacity for sus-tainability,and the intervention effect declines noticeably as intervention time increases.Based on the(Leadership-Cul-ture-Behavior)LCB theory of construction safety,the aim of this study is to develop a targeted LCB intervention ap-proach,and through comprehensive LCB intervention,to enhance the safety management of construction projects.In or-der to establish the goals of the intervention,the case project's performance in terms of safety leadership,safety culture,and safety management behavior was first assessed by using the LCB measuring scale.Following the identification of five interventions using LCB theory,an intervention program was developed based on on-site research and interviews.Finally,LCB measurement during the observation period and another LCB measurement during the follow-up period were under-taken to validate the sustainability of the intervention effects.The results indicated that the developed intervention pro-gram achieved significant and sustained improvements in the three LCB dimensions of attention to respect,education and training,and safety education.The methods described in this paper can be used as a reference for similar programs to conduct safety interventions,enriching LCB intervention practices and further deepening LCB theory.
