OHSAS 18001 was proposed to promote an organisation manages occupational health and safety (OH&S) risks and further improved work operations. However, the positive efforts by the government of Malaysia to improve the implementation, use and acceptance level of OHSAS 18001 are still not remarkable. Hence, the objectives of this paper are to determine the level of acceptance and to establish the best alternative practice in implementing OHSAS 18001. Questionnaire surveys were used as the research method. It is hoped that the implementation of OHSAS 18001 can stimulate the atmosphere of safety culture towards sustainable construction in the Malaysian construction industry.

This paper has discovered the gaps in knowledge towards green lean construction (GLC) tools implementation for the Malaysian construction industry. It is also provided an overview of extensive critical literature review conducted whereby it leads to the findings that there is a need for GLC implementation framework to improve overall project performance in Malaysia particularly in addressing lean construction (LC) issues. Furthermore, growth of this GLC tools strategy is deemed to contribute significantly towards progressive evolution of the Malaysian construction industry to produce better value, quality and sustainable upcoming construction projects hence improving better quality of life. Currently, research is in the pipeline to ensure this issue can be addressed appropriately.

ABSTRACT Site management practicing the best method for Industrialised Building System (IBS) construction leads to favourable environment. This research aims to develop an integrated site management system improvement; the team work, the workplace and the materials & machinery for IBS construction. Questionnaire survey was distributed among 314, IBS contractors registered under CIDB. The result revealed that the improvement factors in site management for IBS construction categorised into five which include the management, workplace, work team, safety, and material and equipment. Thus, the research reinforced that the integration of all these factors is significant e towards the improvement of site management system for IBS construction. (C) 2013 Published by Elsevier Ltd.
