Info

general contractor and subcontractor are to successfully deliver to the owner thespecified project safely, on time, at the contract price and achieve a reasonable profitin return for performance of its work. Regardless of personal pride, businessphilosophy, contractual authority or years of experience, no general contractor candeliver a project successfully without the cooperation of competent subcontractors.Similarly, no subcontractor, regardless of skill and experience in its specialty, canperform its work successfully without the corresponding measure of cooperation andleadership of a competent general contractor.Subcontractors will be reluctant to ignore safety regulations for many reasons amongof which is that they would secure their professional reputations, save workers' lives,keep good relations and records with general contractor. Subcontractors must abide bythe safety requirements established by the general contractor as well as those of theirown safety programs and applicable jurisdictions."No preconstruction site visit by contractor increases risks and decreases quality dueto unexpected conditions" factor was ranked in the second position among evaluation,selection, and control of subcontractors group with RII = 0.668 and was ranked alsoin the 37 th position among all groups factors of quality. This result shows that it isnecessary for contractors to keep up with preconstruction site visits and assess theexpected problems and risks inherent so that they can be avoided. The ConstructionManager is responsible for participating in the preconstruction meeting to establishhealth and safety expectations for the project."Owner should consider subcontractor whose safety record is clean" factor wasranked in the third position among evaluation, selection, and control of subcontractorsgroup with RII = 0.668 and was ranked also in the 39 th position among all groupsfactors of quality. This result demonstrates how much important is the clean safetyrecord of subcontractor for the owner to consider. Subcontractors will try to keep theirprofessional reputations and clean safety records so that their work would continuewithout having problems with owners who might be unwilling to employsubcontractors with black listed safety records. Because the costs of jobsite accidentsare sometimes borne by the owner, many owners try to indemnify themselves in their109
contracts by making the subcontractor responsible for safety. By addressing safetyspecifically in the contract documents, owners send the message that safety isimportant to contractor who in turn delivers it to subcontractor."Evaluation, selection and control of subcontractors have been conducted throughmatching with or alignment of company safety objectives" factor was ranked in thefourth position among evaluation, selection, and control of subcontractors group withRII = 0.668 and was ranked in the 46 th position among all groups factors of quality.Respondents did not give high support to this statement. It is hoped that in the future,the evaluation, selection, and control of subcontractors been conducted to meet thecompany's safety objectives. This will reduce accidents because subcontractors willbe aware of worker safety due to insertion of safety records into contract documentsand selection criteria.GROUP 10: Safety CommitteesTable 4.20 shows the respondents’ opinion about evaluation, selection and control ofsubcontractors with regard to quality according to Likert scale.
