| Abstract | This research paper presents risks of accidents, injuries from accidents, and risk management in construction work. This study focused on unsafe acts from 10 jobs; 1)concrete framework, 2)welding job, 3)bonding bar job, 4) 5)painting job, 6)bending bar job,7)cutting bar job, 8)pouring concrete job, 9)carrying material job, and 10)scaffolding job. The study found that the risk in low level was 11.3%, medium level was 62.9%, high level was 24.2%, and very high risk was 1.6%. There was only one job, cutting bar job which was in very high level of risk and there were 6 jobs in high level of risk. All of 7 jobs must be managed to control risks in construction work by using safety activities which are appropriated in any jobs concluding in 3 terms; 1)management of appropriated personal protective equipments (PPE), 2)management of working area, and 3)management of equipments, hand tools, or machines in working. Moreover, an encouragement in term of concerning in safety is an important strategy for safety management in construction work. When applying 4 safety programs, workers concern in safety issue. Moreover, the testing score of knowledge in term of personal protective equipment increased from 4.96 to 7.00 points (sig. 0.05). When applying safety program in cutting bar job, the risk decreased to be 6 (in medium level) and when applying emergency plan, there are 5 activities for taking a patient to a hospital between 16 to 22 minutes. |
