Factors Influencing Safety in Construction Project and Behavior Based Safety Management Approach
Journal Title: International Journal for Research in Applied Science and Engineering Technology (IJRASET) - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 3
Abstract
Construction works all over the world pose serious threat to workers and non-workers. This study investigates the current scenario of labor’s working in construction industry in terms of Health, Safety and Environmental issues. The factors influencing safety on construction sites are discussed. The impacts of the historical, economical, psychological, technical, procedural, frequency and the environmental issues are considered in terms of how these factors are linked with the level of site safety performance. A structured questionnaire is prepared and distributed to access the level of safety performance in the construction site. Relative important index is calculated to rank the factors. It is observed that psychological factor is highly influencing the safety behavior of construction industry. It was found to be that the workers have received a limited culture of safety awareness, which led to main cause of accidents. Behaviour based safety management is proposed to rectify the human ware failures. Improvement in safety culture is thus obtained by observing and Intervening frontline workers.
