Abstract

Electrical hazard are one of construction accidents that occur in the construction industry. Electrical hazard exist in contact with exposed live parts, faults which could cause fire or explosion where an electrical fault is the source of ignition. This study aims to identify the potential risk of electrical hazard in construction industry. This research objective was to analyse the level of implementation of Occupational Safety and health regulation at construction industry, to identify potential risks of electrical hazard that could be occurred in construction industry and to identify the major risk of electrical hazard that will happen during using electrical equipment. The method of data collection for this research was gathered by primary data such as through questionnaires and secondary data through books and journals. This research has been conducted at Kuala Lumpur and Selangor where places that sector in construction industry and respondent of quantitative research are selected among contractor, safety officer, project manager, site supervisor that work at construction industry. This research uses a survey method which involved 100 respondents in answering the questionnaires. The data collected and then analysed using Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) for Windows version 20.0. This research also found three risks that are Shock Hazard, Arc-Blast Hazard, Flash Hazard (IV) and Potential Risk of Electrical Hazard in Construction Industry (DV). It is proved by data analysis using correlation and regression that shown the most significant factors was Flash Hazard followed by Arc-blast Hazard and Shock Hazard. Indirectly, this research has also achieved its three main objectives.
