Case study analyzes safety risks in high-rise buildings, suggesting a framework for practical risk responses.
High-rise building construction is a complex process that involves various occupational safety risks, especially in activities performed at height. This study aims to identify, analyze, and evaluate occupational safety risks in high-rise building construction projects, with a case study on the Tower AB construction project of the State University of Jakarta. The Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) method was used to determine the Risk Priority Number (RPN) for each potential hazard, based on assessments of severity, occurrence, and detection. The research was conducted through expert validation, questionnaire distribution, and risk ranking based on the RPN values. Nine risks with the highest RPN scores were selected to develop risk response recommendations. Validation was also conducted through interviews with the project’s Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) team to evaluate the alignment between the proposed risk responses and actual field conditions. The results showed that all proposed risk responses were approved by the project team, with additional notes provided on risks X33 and X21 to strengthen mitigation efforts. These findings demonstrate that the FMEA-based risk response framework can be applied and is aligned with practical field implementation.
