Abstract

The paper presents the development of a standard approach to the improvement of workplace quality (5S system) with an additional S-Safety step, creating an approach called the 6S system. The article describes a conducted literature survey on the use of the standard 5S system in the construction sector and the 6S system in the manufacturing industry. On the basis of the carried out analysis, the method of implementing the 6S system in the construction sector was proposed, while indicating how an additional "S-Safety" step should be implemented. The method, which is presented in the article, was based on the Plan-Do-Check-Act cycle. In addition, the article also describes questionnaires for supporting the successful implementation of the "S-Safety" step in the construction industry.
