APPLICATION OF AT-RISK BEHAVIOUR ANALYSIS AND IMPROVEMENT SYSTEM (ARBAIS) MODEL IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY

This study evaluates the past and present trends of Behaviour Based Safety in Construction Industry. The application of BBS in construction industry is very common around the world. Industries are focusing on reducing costs associated with accidents and injuries of workers. Most behavioural studi...
