research paper. The chief purpose of the article is to present the nature of fall accidents in high
rise building project construction in Indonesia. The paper has been written in order to provide
assistance to future researchers involved in construction projects in order to plan an accident
prevention strategy in an effective way. In the article, a specific population has not been studied.
Instead of that, Information has been collected from reports provided by PT Jamsosteky, the
stated owned worker insurance company. However, from the findings of the research, the
researchers have been able to answer the exact time in the day when the fall accidents take place
and the type of constructional job which results in most of the fall accidents (PERMANA and
DREBENSTEDT 2013).

from the mentioned organizations can be considered as the right type of papers for the research.
Along with this, 32 articles and report were also used for collection of information for this
article. The scholarly articles that has been selected possess appropriate study design,. The
articles al addresses the question of the review.
Question 3
Yes

Besides that 32 numbers of scholarly articles as well as reports related to the research
topic that is the nature of fall accidents in constructional project has also been used for collecting
information for the research. All the articles that have been used for the research paper have been
published between the years 2000 to 2009.Hence, in spite of the fact that that all the papers are
relevant to the research topic, there is a lack of time relevancy of the papers from which
information has been collected. This could have been avoided by selecting current research
papers that is articles between the time ranges of 2013 to 2019. All the research papers that were
used are written in the English language. Majority of the articles used are scholar reviewed
(Enshassi and Shakalaih 2015).
Question 4
No.
Considering the fact that the researcher has used only one data base that is PT Jamsosteky
as the chief source for data collection, there prevails a risk of lack authenticity of the data.
According to Chong and Low 2014, it is highly crucial for the author to use more than 5 to 7
sources for collection of data in case of systematic review. Since the data has been collected
from only one source, the findings of the article may not match the actual concerns. According to
the author need to consider the rigueur of the studies that has been identified by them. If the
information is not studied in an effective way, it possesses the potentiality to impose negative
impact on the result of the study (Irfani 2015). Researchers can use several measures in order to
ensure high quality of their assignment. For instance, the research paper can be given to a review
committed in order to eradicate any kinds of spelling errors as well as sentence construction
errors. Not only has this, in order to reduce bias in information provided to the readers, more and
