Development of the Construction Safety Goals and Programs During the Design and Construction Phase for the Audit Process to Improve Construction Safety Performance

- In Indonesia, construction service providers need to design and implement a Construction Safety Plan (RKK) as stated in the Ministry of Public Works and Public Housing (PUPR) Regulation No. 10 of 2021. Furthermore, safety goals and programs are currently planned and implemented by contractors only in the construction phase. This becomes a problematic phenomenon in implementing the Construction Safety Management System (SMKK) because it is not comprehensive. Therefore, this study aimed to develop safety goals and programs as the basis for the construction safety audit process on integrated construction using the design-build method as a risk control tool. A qualitative method was used, and additional secondary data were obtained from relevant literature reviews. Risk control was specified for high risk at the WBS level for each work activity. The results showed that risk control for high-risk levels using substitution, engineering controls, administrative controls, and adequate PPE was carried out from the design phase to the project’s completion. Meanwhile, RKK, using the design-build method, consisted of 36 main goals and safety programs that controlled high-level risks. This was identified as 3 high risks at the design phase, 2 at the implementation of SMKK, and 3 at the construction phase. In addition, there were successful benchmarks and the person in charge of implementing the risk control. The benefits of this study could become guidelines for preparing safety goals and programs as the basis for the audit process on RKK using the design-build methods in Indonesia.
