  • Abstract:
    A comprehensive research for defining the organizational aspects of a construction contractor's subsystems was performed to provide these contractors with benchmarks for evaluating their subsystems. This paper describes the organizational aspects of contractors' safety management subsystems. The objective of this research was accomplished by surveying the literature, and by contacting twenty one construction industry experts through a comprehensive structured questionnaire. The research results define the organizational aspects of a safety management department in terms of key functions, location in the organization, key personnel, safety management tools, link with other departments, safety management program, and safety management effective practices. If a contractor implements the study recommendations to its safety management department, he would realize working and efficiency improvement in the safety.
