| Abstract | Safety in the fabrication and erection steel struct ure has always been a major issue. Wherever reliable records are available, steel cons truction is found to be one of the most dangerous on safety and health criteria, particular ly in developing countries. Though much improvement in steel construction safety has been a chieved, the erection steel structure still continues to lag behind most other activities with regard to safety. In developing countries, safety in fabrication and erection rules usually do not exist; if any exist, the regulatory authority is usually very weak in implementing such rules effectively. Further, work hazards at the construction workplace are either not percei ved at all, or perceived to be less dangerous than what they actually are. Most steel companies can give many good reasons why they want to implement management safety system. A well-designed safety ma nagement system can help to reduce injuries and illnesses and prevent risks and hazard s. In addition, a good management system can increase efficiency, improve productivity and q uality of services. Through the assessment of some typical accident cas es in steel construction of one project in LONG AN- The Green Star Factory , I want to assess the project safety plan and the safety management system of TT Company. Furthermore , I want to improve the existing safety management system of the company in order to prevent the accident happening in the furure |
