Article: Safety Culture Assessment and its Relationship with Accidents in a Dam Construction Project.

Description

The article addresses the safety culture assessments, as well as the relationship of the same with the accidents which occur in a dam construction site. Projects are prone to accidents, and in the event that management does not take keen consideration on improving employee safety, the safety culture is shunned, and the number of workplace accidents end up increasing.

Management Dilemma

Article Research Question

What is the cause of the accidents that occur within the dam construction sites?

The Article’s Hypothesis.

The article seeks to prove that safety culture has a direct relationship with the accidents occurring at the dam construction project (Daryshi, 2015). The alternative hypothesis in this case, is that there is no relationship between safety culture and the accidents in the dam construction project.

Ethical Concern

The ethical issue is that, as previously stated, there are not enough organization leaders or project managers present enough to monitor the safety culture and ensuring it is implemented properly. If organization leaders and project managers were present, they could help to increase the number of employees who attend workplace safety meetings.

Preliminary Research Design

For my research, I will collect data and analyze it to ultimately identify trends. To begin, we will sort the data in chronological order to show a change over a certain period of time, whether positive or negative.
