Abstract
To improve construction site safety, emphasis has been placed on the implementation of safety programs. In order to successfully gain from safety
programs, factors that affect their improvement need to be studied. Sixteen critical success factors of safety programs were identified from safety literature,
and these were validated by safety experts. This study was undertaken by surveying 70 respondents from medium- and large-scale construction projects. It
explored the importance and the actual status of critical success factors (CSFs). Gap analysis was used to examine the differences between the importance
of these CSFs and their actual status. This study found that the most critical problems characterized by the largest gaps were management support,
appropriate supervision, sufficient resource allocation, teamwork, and effective enforcement. Raising these priority factors to satisfactory levels would lead to
successful safety programs, thereby minimizing accidents
