Abstract

Despite recent efforts aimed at promoting sustainability, very little has been done to integrate health and safety into the sustainability evaluation of the built environment. This research aimed to develop and validate a sustainable health and safety maturity model for evaluating the maturity of the health and safety practices of sustainable building projects. A detailed literature review was used to develop the model which consist of 22 safety maturity drivers and 251 critical to safety practices, after which it was subjected to an analytical hierarchy process and validation by expert judgement. The results showed that the most important safety maturity drivers were “risk and hazard management” and ‘incident investigation, performance and evaluation,” while the least important were “health and safety in contracts,” and ‘alcohol and drug testing.” Findings point to a potential relationship between the relevance of the safety maturity drivers and their relative importance in sustainable building onsite safety management. Construction organizations can use the model to evaluate and improve the maturity of the health and safety practices implemented on their sustainable building projects.

开发和验证一个模型来评估可持续建筑项目的健康和安全

尽管最近努力促进可持续性，但在将健康和安全纳入建筑环境的可持续性评价方面做得很少。本研究旨在建立并验证可持续健康与安全成熟度模型，以评估可持续建筑项目的健康与安全实践成熟度。通过详细的文献综述，建立了由22个安全成熟度驱动因素和251个安全实践关键因素组成的模型，然后进行了层次分析法和专家判断验证。结果表明，最重要的安全成熟度驱动因素是“风险和危害管理”和“事故调查、绩效和评估”，而最不重要的是“合同中的健康和安全”和“酒精和药物测试”。研究结果指出，安全成熟度驱动因素的相关性及其在可持续建筑现场安全管理中的相对重要性之间存在潜在关系。建筑组织可以使用该模型来评估和改进其可持续建筑项目中实施的健康和安全实践的成熟度。

期刊介绍： The purpose of the Journal of Green Building is to present the very best peer-reviewed research in green building design, construction, engineering, technological innovation, facilities management, building information modeling, and community and urban planning. The Research section of the Journal of Green Building publishes peer-reviewed articles in the fields of engineering, architecture, construction, construction management, building science, facilities management, landscape architecture, interior design, urban and community planning, and all disciplines related to the built environment. In addition, the Journal of Green Building offers the following sections: Industry Corner that offers applied articles of successfully completed sustainable buildings and landscapes; New Directions in Teaching and Research that offers guidance from teachers and researchers on incorporating innovative sustainable learning into the curriculum or the likely directions of future research; and Campus Sustainability that offers articles from programs dedicated to greening the university campus.
