Abstract
The purpose of this research is to examine the factors affecting for reduce accidents in landscape construction and maintenance work. The study method is based on a sample of 90 landscape construction and maintenance supervisors in Bangkok. A questionnaire was used as a data collection tool. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and analytical statistics include analysis of variance (ANOVA) and multiple regression analysis.
The results of the study found that most of the respondents were male, aged 20-29 years, had a bachelor's degree, and had been in the organization for 1-5 years. The serious accidents in the past 6 months were found in the landscaping construction sector, namely accidents from building demolition, accounting for 28.9 percent, while in the landscaping maintenance sector, accidents from tree trimming, accounting for 33.3 percent. Comparison of accidents from work in landscape construction and landscape maintenance found that there was a significant difference at the 0.05 level (t = 2.94 and Sig = 0.005), with landscape construction workers having more work-related accidents than landscape maintenance workers. In addition, the analysis of factors affecting accidents from the work steps of construction and landscape maintenance found that equipment factors had a statistically significant effect on accidents in landscape construction at the 0.05 level, which if the quality of equipment was improved, accidents could be reduced (Beta = -0.760). Environmental factors had a statistically significant effect on accidents in landscape maintenance at the 0.05 level, which if the environment was safe, the accident rate at work could be reduced (Beta = -0.687).
