| Abstract | This study was carried out to identify problems associated with the development and implementation of safety rules and procedures (SRPs) to ensure worker's compliance and to give an insight of effective solutions to overcome these problems. The discussions were broadened to identify the influence of organizational culture to the SRP's development and implementation, the potential of leadership styles in handling particular type of violations and the possibility of the Peltzman Effect occurrence in the construction industry. The result revealed that several SRP's development and implementation variables have a great potential in reducing particular type of violations. Therefore, management should be aware that mismanaging these variables could potentially promote violations. In general, the finding suggested that SRP's should be: (i) developed following project risks assessment, (ii) designed so that it will not over restricted individuals working efficiency, and (iii) designed considering operational difficulties. As well, during the implementation, SRP's should be: (a) available to all of the workforces, (b) implemented alongside with varieties of safety trainings, and ( c) enforced by providing wide ranging of PPE or any other resources necessary to do the job safely. Furthermore, the findings also suggested the need for the management to understand the strengths as well as the weaknesses of the particular organizational culture attributes in their relation to the SRP's development and implementation in order to make necessary adjustments for their organizational effectiveness. It is also suggested the need for the Safety Officers to carefully understanding the impact of their leadership behaviors. At last, in terms of worker's activeness in safety programs participation, this study did not identify the presence of the Peltzman Effect |
