Research on the Process of Occupational Health Management and Its Impact on Occupational Health Performance in Construction Enterprises
Publication: ICCREM 2016: BIM Application and Off-Site Construction
ABSTRACT
The occupational health risk of construction employees is very notable during their working process. This paper establishes a structural equation model (SEM) to explore how the occupational health management process affects occupational health performance. First, five influence factors from management process are identified with a hierarchical description based on OHSAS 18001. Then different factors are decomposed into measurable questions and used to develop a questionnaire to measure enterprise occupational health management process. A relation structural equation model of influencing factors and management performance is built to analyze the influencing path with structural equation model, regarding above influencing factors and one management performance as latent variables, which presents the transfer path and different influence of each factors. It is found that five influencing factors all have effects on the management performance in different ways.
