Abstract
The purpose of this research is to study an assessment of safety in construction of high rise building projects. The safety assessment form was developed by referring to the Labour Ministerial Regulations. The safety assessment composed of 8 categories: (1) construction site perimeter area (2) electricity and fire protection (3) crane (4) passenger lift and material hoist (5) welding (6) fall protection (7) temporary scaffolding and stairs, and (8) personal protective equipment. Based on the safety assessment of 20 building construction sites in Bangkok metropolitan, each building has area and height in exceeding of 2,000 m2 and 23.00 m, respectively. The average safety score is 80 percent, which is in a good level. The highest score is construction site perimeter area, while the lowest score is fall protection. All parties involved including contractors and project owners, in particular, need to focus on safety to prevent fall from height accidents in order to reduce the loss of properties, life, and company reputation.
