AB The improvement of safety management in the construction sector, especially in activities for concrete structures,continues to be necessary. This paper aims at increasing understanding of everyday construction activitiesfor building concrete structures in order to improve resilient safety management. The Functional ResonanceAnalysis Method (FRAM) has been applied to these activities for this purpose. Analysis of available documentation,on-site interviews and observations have been conducted to collect data. The FRAM analysis revealedthat the construction phase health and safety plan is rarely used, that organizational pressure affectssafety and that leading indicators to monitor normal work are not used. In addition, delivery of concrete on siteand crane operations as key factors due to their influence on variability. This study outlined the potential of theFRAM model as the basis of in-depth and systematic analysis of daily performance, highlighting issues that, untilnow, had been undervalued.
