Determinant Factors Affecting Design for Safety in Planning Stage of High-Rise Building

Abstract

The Indonesian construction sector is experiencing rapid growth, particularly in high-rise buildings. However, this growth is accompanied by significant challenges, including a high incidence of workplace accidents and construction failures. To address these concerns, this research focused on Design for Safety (DfS), a proactive approach that prioritizes safety considerations from the initial planning stages of construction projects. The study aimed to conduct a thorough review of the factors influencing the successful implementation of DfS in high-rise building projects, guided by the principles outlined in the Indonesian Minister of Public Works and Housing Regulation Number 10 of 2021. The literature review was rigorously validated and refined through the Delphi method, involving a panel of experts in the field of construction safety. The research identified ten key factors and thirty-six sub-factors that significantly impact the effective implementation of DfS. These findings provide crucial insights for developing and implementing more effective DfS strategies, ultimately contributing to a substantial improvement in safety performance within the Indonesian high-rise building construction sector.
