Indonesia has achieved considerable advancements in infrastructure development over the past decade; yet, the incidence of work-related accidents in the construction sector continues to be elevated. Data indicates that the rising trend of infrastructure projects in Indonesia correlates with the annual increase in work-related accidents. This signifies that a construction safety issue persists. Despite the establishment of pertinent rules, the execution of the construction safety management system remains suboptimal. Noncompliance with safety rules is a primary contributor to construction accidents. Consequently, measurement is essential to evaluate the enforcement of construction safety regulations. Regrettably, the execution of safety performance metrics in building projects has been inadequate. It is executed customarily using non-standardized parameters, differing from one project to another. This project seeks to create a rating tool system for assessing construction safety performance and to analyze the relationship model between information systems and safety rating tools in relation to construction safety performance. This study employs both qualitative and quantitative methodologies. The initial phase involved the development of an information system for measuring construction safety performance, utilizing characteristics derived via expert validation. The second stage examined the impact of the system on construction safety performance. The findings indicated that the information system and safety rating tools positively impact construction safety performance. Furthermore, the Safety Rating Tools system standardizes the assessment of construction safety performance, rendering it more straightforward and efficient. The evaluation results aim to enhance compliance to safety standards to prevent building mishaps.
