be avoided if due consideration and effort were invested during the project brief and design phase
(Haywood, 2004). As in Section 15 in OSHA (1994) mention, employer is accountable to his employees’
safety & health. Employer also has a responsibility for the visitor or public as state in Section 17 (OSHA,
1994). Client should concern on including OSH during objective identification and project brief. Project
owners or client can positively influence project safety & health performances since they are the one who
contribute funding for the project (Huang & Hinze, 2006; Sulaiman & Mahyuddin, 2005). As it is
