  • Abstract In recent years, the volume of new construction projects in Taiwan has surged, accompanied by tight schedules and labor shortages. These factors have resulted in insufficient time for pre-construction occupational safety training, thereby increasing the likelihood of workplace accidents. Consequently, this study focuses on occupational safety accidents to investigate their causes, aiming to facilitate effective prevention and reduce the incidence of such accidents.
    The construction industry is a primary focus for accident prevention and risk mitigation; specifically, machinery tip-overs, structural collapses, and oxygen-deprivation poisoning (asphyxiation) stand out as three "invisible killers" responsible for major casualties. To proactively address these risks, this study conducts a root-cause analysis based on three actual incidents: a crane tip-over, a scaffolding collapse, and organic solvent poisoning. The analysis reveals that the lack of standardized operating procedures and failures in on-site supervision are the primary causes of these workplace accidents. Consequently, this study re-evaluates and formulates critical Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) for these three operational scenarios, emphasizing the implementation of equipment inspections, structural calculations, and environmental monitoring at the source. The aim is to enhance autonomous site management capabilities and strengthen workplace safety protections through the establishment of standardized processes.
    To effectively prevent occupational hazards, it is essential to implement hazard management processes and establish a comprehensive lifecycle approach: conducting preventive briefings before tasks, ensuring on-site supervision by managers during operations, and performing "6S" cleanup and finalization afterward. This study developed mandatory checklists covering the pre-task, in-task, and post-task phases. These tools enable workplaces to rigorously conduct regulatory inspections, hold daily safety briefings, and standardize hazard control measures, thereby ensuring the safety of personnel and the environment.
    Traditional methods of enforcing workplace safety regulations on construction sites¡Xwhich often rely on fines for non-compliance¡Xfrequently trigger resistance among workers. Drawing on the "habit loop" theory, this study transforms safety regulations into embodied habits for workers through the use of visual diagrams and physical cues. To overcome language barriers and ensure that foreign migrant workers and new hires can instantly grasp key safety points, the study implements "One-Page Visual SOPs" and establishes pre-shift toolbox meetings as a mandatory daily routine that evolves into a habit. Furthermore, by offering rewards to workers, the approach shifts their mindset from resistance to willing compliance.
    To ensure worker safety and prevent occupational safety measures from becoming merely a formality, a "three-stage dynamic checklist" is implemented, integrating inspections throughout the entire work cycle (including 6S restoration) to eliminate potential hazards. A "toolbox meeting and double-signature" system is established, requiring daily pre-work hazard notification, self-inspection, and supervisor review and double-signature. Through active participation, the concept of "safety is one's own responsibility" is deeply ingrained as a daily habit for frontline workers.
