- Abstract:
Competency in safety is important for construction personnel and it is compulsory for all construction personnel in Malaysia to attend safety training. A literature review of the recommended training module revealed gaps in evaluating the effectiveness of competency knowledge among 200 construction personnel. Therefore, this article investigates the level of competency knowledge among construction personnel towards construction accidents based on safety training in Malaysia's construction industry. A structured, self-administered questionnaire was designed and used to assess the level of competency knowledge in safety training. For each participant, the knowledge score was calculated by dividing the sum of correct answers by the total number of correct responses. The average knowledge score for all participants was 92%, whereas designers and site supervisors obtained better scores (94% and 91%, respectively) than contractors (90%). The knowledge scores among all construction personnel are not significantly associated with age and experience. Results indicated that there were nine topics with a significant difference in competency knowledge (p < 0.005) which were transportation and mobile plant, installation of steel frame, roof work, personal protective equipment (PPE), working in the water area, welding and cutting, manual work, noise and vibration and accident prevention. © Penerbit Universiti Sains Malaysia, 2019.
