Abstract
Workers inability to act according to laid down rules and regulations within the industry have
invariably contributed to their unsafe actions leading to accident. The purpose of the study
was to determine safe acts of workers towards health and safety (H&S) compliance. Delphi
survey method of data collection was adopted for the study. Experts were asked to complete
the Delphi questionnaire survey based on the impact of given factors in predicting safe act of
workers towards Health and Safety compliance. The ratings were based on either the impact
was considered to be very high or high. Data obtained was analysed and results were
presented in a table and a chart. Findings from the study show that only three measurement
variables (ensure equipment or tools are in good condition before usage, ensure the use of
personal protective equipment (PPE) and ensure proper positioning of tasks) were considered
by the experts to have reached consensus with IQD cut- re. Further findings
showed strong consensus with very high impact (VHI: 9.00-10.00).Results from the
Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) showed that only five indicator variables (SAW10,SAW
16,SAW7, SAW8 and SAW9) were considered as determinant of Health and Safety
compliance. Further findings showed that one indicator variable (PPE) was found to be
common in the Delphi survey and EFA results.The factor loadings for all items were greater
than 0.5593.This findings indicate that high priority was given to SAW 10 in determining
Health and Safety compliance in the construction industry.
