Abstract

The enactment of the Serious Accident Punishment Act has increased the importance of safety management for clients. Nevertheless, in defense and military facility projects, the existing safety management system has not experienced significant changes due to challenges related to access control, hazardous conditions, and limited expertise. Consequently, this situation has resulted in industrial accidents stemming from differing safety management perspectives among stakeholders. Moreover, safety management primarily concentrates on accidents during the construction phase, overlooking clients' dual roles as supervisors. This study aims to improve safety management led by clients by analyzing perspectives from clients, contractors, and supervisors regarding factors contributing to client-induced industrial accidents. A comprehensive risk management framework was developed reviewing literature and conducting Focus Group Interviews. Data on stakeholders' perceptions of importance and performance were gathered through questionnaires and significant perception differences were identified using statistical analysis. Importance-performance Analysis further assessed the significance of various factors. These findings revealed disparities in the importance of four factors and the performance of twelve out of twenty factors. Addressing these differences necessitates appropriate levels of supervision and additional training or personnel for on-site oversight. Perception-based variations should be resolved through consensus-building processes led by the owner. This research offers valuable insights and a structured framework for optimizing safety management in owner-led scenarios, particularly in high-risk defense and military facility projects.
