Occupational health and safety becomes more and more important day by day with increasing rate of supervisioning. Aim of the occupational health and safety is removing all and any kind of dangers, minimizing the risks and protecting the workers from occupational accidents and diseases, providing a safe production line by efficiency in time and maximum individual performance. Falling from fragile roof type of accidents are very common in construction sector. In this thesis, 195 occupational accident expert reports for construction sites from Ankara Courts are investigated and analyzed in order to show the current situation. Falling from fragile roof type of accidents are specifically evaluated in terms of cost that the responsible may face in case of an injury or death and the cost of precautions that should be taken to prevent these type of accidents

Lean design management – an evaluation of waste items for architectural design process
Mazlum, Salih Kaan; Pekeriçli, Mehmet Koray; Department of Building Science in Architecture (2015)
Waste is standing as a major problem in the body of construction industry. Lean thinking in construction accepts any inefficiency as waste which results with more usage of equipment, materials, labor, time or capital in larger quantities than those considered as necessary. Although inefficiency of design stages has been identified as a major factor that reduces the efficiency of construction projects, less attention has been paid on the relationship between lean thinking and architectural design process. Th...
A Fuzzy structural equation model to analyze relationships between determinants of safety performance in construction sites: development of a safety performance index assessment tool
Özdemir, Mustafa; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2015)
The principal aim of this study is to examine the relationships between determinants of safety performance in construction sites. In this study, 168 observable variables and 16 latent dimensions affecting safety performance of construction sites were collected together from detailed literature review, expert opinions and face-to-face interviews with 15 construction safety professionals. Relationships between observed variables and latent dimensions of safety performance of construction sites were studied an...
Analysis of organisational routines to understand change in construction: the case of Turkish construction industry
Daneshvar, Maryam; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat; Department of Civil Engineering (2011)
Surrounding business environment, opportunities and requirements of organizations are under constant change. According to the evolutionary economics, organizations continuously make efforts to adapt themselves in line with changing circumstances of environments where they operate. In exploration of organizational change, organizational routines are recognized as the key analysis units. It is because when a change plan is required, routines undergo design or redesign processes. The construction industry lite...
Heuristic and exact methods for the large-scale discrete time-cost trade-off problems
Aminbakhsh, Saman; Sönmez, Rifat; Atan, S. Tankut; Department of Civil Engineering (2018)
Construction industry necessitates formulating impeccable plans by decision makers for securing optimal outcomes. Managers often face the challenge of compromising between diverse and usually conflicting objectives. Particularly, accurate decisions on the time and cost must be made in every construction project since project success is chiefly related to these objectives. This is realized by addressing the time-cost trade-off problem (TCTP) which is an optimization problem and its objective is to identify t...
Development of an IT-based tool for portfolio assessment and management for construction companies
Bilgin, Gözde; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Özorhon Orakçal, Beliz; Department of Civil Engineering (2019)
Development in the construction industry has leaded most of the construction companies to undertake more complex projects than before, which are generally executed concurrently. Therefore, project management routines of the companies may not support effective management of multi-projects. Project portfolio management approach has been suggested to meet requirements for coordinating multi-projects to meet strategic objectives under limited resources. Since project portfolio management requires a comprehensiv...
