Development of safety plan based on work breakdown structure to determine safety cost for precast concrete bridge construction projects. Case study: Girder erection with launching gantry method

Abstract

In Indonesia, there have been many accidents happening in the precast bridges projects. Separate budgets are not specifically provided in implementing OSHMS or Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems. The main purpose of the study is developing safety plan based on work breakdown structure to determine safety cost for precast concrete bridge construction projects. This research is using a survey research method. The respondents are construction safety experts. Descriptive analysis is selected to analyse the variables. The results of the study are safety plan to each hazards and activity, finding the safety costs components based on WBS in order to improve the OHSMS and reduce the rate of accidents. The safety plan is developed based on WBS and can be adapted to determine safety cost components and it can be easier in calculating the real safety costs.
