Abstract
Certifiable management-system standards apply similar management techniques and principles, but each system still tends to have
a separate structure in construction companies. Research and practice have demonstrated that management tasks may be duplicated when
standards are implemented in parallel. Consequently, integrated management systems are strongly advocated. However, existing literature
demonstrates that the integration of planning and control instruments involves a high level of uncertainty. This paper presents an innovative
model to enhance the integration of environmental- and health and safety
–
management systems in construction companies, focusing on the
subsystems for identifying, assessing, and operationally controlling environmental aspects and health and safety hazards and using risk as an
integrating factor. The findings of this study have direct implications for both designers and contractors because the model helps to explicitly
consider on-site environmental impacts and construction-worker safety during the design process and offers on-site guidance to eliminate the
remaining impacts and risks or reduce them to acceptable levels. A case study is reported to illustrate the practical use of the proposed model
and its benefits.
