Abstract
This paper explores the relationship between workplace safety, employee behavior and elevator
installation enhancement. The objective is to understand the factors that contribute to enhanced
elevator installation process by focusing on safety practices and promoting employee behavior.
The study conducted a comprehensive literature review to identify the strength, weakness, and
gaps in existing research. The review literature tells that workplace safety measures and
employee working behavioral issues, such as the implementation of safety practices, including
personal protective equipment(PPE) and adherence to regulatory guidelines, significantly impact
the overall productivity of elevator installations during the process. However, gaps in the
existing literature are identified. Limited research has been conducted on the specific challenges
and limitations faced in implementing workplace safety practices during elevator installations.
This study aims to fill these challenges by conducting primary research involving interviews, site
observation and surveys with professionals in the elevator installation industry together with the
secondary data. The data collected will provide insights into the practical experiences,
perceptions, and recommendations of industry experts regarding the enhancement of elevator
installation process through improvement of workplace safety and employee behavior. To
analyze the data collected from surveyed questionnaire, the study implemented SPSS Software
(Statistical package for Social Science) and Fish Bone diagram tool and Process Failure Mode
Effect Analysis (PFMEA) techniques used to analyze root causes of the collected data from the
professional’s. So that, The findings of this research will contribute to the development of
strategies and interventions aimed at improving workplace safety practices, raising positive
employee behavior, and ultimately enhancing elevator installation process.
