A Study on the Management Mechanism of Third-Party Safety Inspection within the Chinese Context
Publication: ICCREM 2019: Innovative Construction Project Management and Construction Industrialization
ABSTRACT
Safety issues are more and more emphasized in the global construction industry with China no exception. To cope with the problems of the existing system necessitates the incorporation of third-party inspection mechanism. In response, this research adopted various methods (i.e. literature review, case study, interview, etc.) to obtain deeper insights in this domain. Global literature were first reviewed and a thorough definition extracted consequently. Pilot Free Trade Zone Qianhai and Shekou Area of Shenzhen was then selected for case study and the current practice of third-party inspection, regarding the organization structure, inspection range/methods, further explained. 15 semi-structured interviews were conducted later so as to more clearly identify the responsibilities/authorities of third-party agencies during their safety inspection. The research findings are beneficial for the government and construction industry at large to successfully apply the third-party inspection mechanism in China.
