The aim and purpose of the research are to analyze the performance of the technical supervision of the investor within the Czech construction industry during the construction, particularly focused on transport line structures. It is about clarifying the meaning and role of technical supervision in the public sector in transportation structures. In the first phase, a literature search is carried out on the current state of performance of the technical survey, and its work content is determined, including the method of its evaluation within the framework of a public contract. On the basis of these conclusions, a questionnaire is designed, which determines the real time-consuming activities during the performance of supervision and, at the same time, examines the tools used in its performance. Conclusions from the questionnaire research are examined, and steps for possible streamlining are proposed. As part of the examination of the proper evaluation of performance, a more suitable model of evaluation of these services is sought based on the previous analysis of the time-consuming nature of the technical supervision activity and according to the existing evaluation methods.

“…Cheng et al (2004) stated that low educational level of construction staff members is a factor that leads to accidents such as lack of training, insufficient and poor communication error and sub-contracting to negligent firms. Thorpe (2005) and Twort and Rees (2011) suggested that employers should prepare employees before starting construction work and provide relevant information to identify H&S risks to avert risks to their H&S. Moreover, awareness on the part of contractors is essential to encourage workers to follow H&S instructions.…”

“…The health and safety (H&S) of any workplace is very important to diminish such risks, legally and ethically, but in mainly dangerous contexts such as the construction industry HS takes on perilous importance as daily activities of the industry are highly unsafe. It is thus important to identify suitable safety activities and strategy, accommodating potential serious H&S pr`oblems (Twort and Rees, 2011).…”

The aim of this research is to identify and evaluate the safety management in construction projects to minimise and control health and safety (H&S) of construction workers. Questionnaire is used to collect a wide range of opinions from experienced professionals working in different construction sites for comparison between them. The reviews of the related literature are the first step in obtaining information from previously related studies.The literature reviews provide a theoretical background about safety management that guided the design of the questionnaire. This research concludes that the construction industry has a high number of fatalities and long-term injuries. This is unacceptable in a modern society and it also makes the industry inefficient, with days lost due to injuries. This research shows that the high rates of accidents are due to several common factors, such as poor construction planning, lack of safety in design, inadequate safety training, worker behaviour, inherent safety H&S risk of construction and lack of knowledge of site rules.

“…It differs from a management contract for construction where the contractor lets sub-contracts and takes greater responsibility (Twort, 2004). A private company contracts to provide a service to improve certain water supply operations for a fixed fee, or a fee partly or wholly based on achieving some specified performance target, such as: reduction of leakage, betterment of service levels to consumers, etc.…”
