This paper presents the findings of a preliminary survey, which is consist of three criteria as the main focus, namely the identification of critical phases for safety cost allocation, issues, and importance of safety and health cost allocation and potential respondent for this research. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with seven (7) construction stakeholders who are involved in urban rail infrastructure project. The transcription and interpretation from the interview findings were carried out using Atlas.ti© qualitative software. The respondent views are needed to obtain safety items and related issues in developing this framework mainly for estimating the safety cost allocation.
