Construction Safety Management in Construction Project

Abstract

The construction industry continues to grow as the demand for infrastructure, homes, and office spaces grows by the day. Since the construction industry is so dynamic, it is vulnerable to a range of health risks. As a result, protection is a top priority in the construction sector to ensure a healthy working environment. Safety experts have determined that risky behaviours cause the majority of workplace injuries, and that controlling these behaviours is one of the keys to effective accident prevention and a low accident rate on construction sites. Safety in construction industry is much more important. This review paper is about to increase safety in the building industry performance. The study's primarily is to define the critical success factors that affect the implementation of construction safety management. This review paper is to recognize and solve major problems in the building sector with various solutions related to work situations that affect project safety performance. Due to lake of knowledge and awareness large number of people's deaths and long-term injuries occurs. Traditional construction safety management has faced challenges As a consequence of the ever-increasing amount of information available, data available. Sensor-based technology is thought to include a new wave of construction safety management techniques because it is an effective way to collect, identify, and process data. The reason behind this review paper is to recognize and assess Construction project safety control in order to reduce and control construction worker health and safety (H&S). The various safety and control measures of accidents in building projects were outlined in this paper in order to mitigate accidents by using sensorbased technology. and discuss the causes of accidents as well as Drone use for construction safety.

Dominant Factors Influencing the Implementation of Safety Protocols in Building Project Sites

“…Larger companies could have the resources to implement safety protocols and enforce them, which might improve compliance with safety standards. According to Windapo and Cattell (2011) and Patel and Yadav (2021), the large-scale construction companies are seen to be established contractors since they have specialized safety departments and follow strict safety protocols. Hence, are able to implement safety protocols.…”

Hazard Management in Tunnels’ Construction: State-of-the-Art

“…Other factors have a significant role in fatal accidents that occur in confined places in Quebec, according to a comprehensive investigation. Moving components of machinery, for example, account approximately 20percent of the total death, with an accounting engulfment for 15percent,falling items accounting for 12.5 percent, and falls from a high place accounting for 12.5 percent of the total [15]. [16] stated that companies should provide a pleasant and comfortable working environment.…”

“…in Quebec from 1998 to 2011, hydrogen sulfide was the highest prevalent hazardous atmosphere that causes confined space fatalities, accounting for 19.5% of all deaths. The large percentage of confined space policies, rules, and laws in each country studied that 19.5% is considered a minimum valid quantity of oxygen in terms of volume, but Canada is the only exception, that allows work to be done in an environment having low percent which is 18% [15] 4.3 Fire related-risks [19]investigated that the fire properties of a tunnel during progress are likely to differ from those of a completed tunnel, as are the methods of evacuation and firefighting, as well as the safety equipment selections. Consequently, the risk of fire during tunnel construction may be greater than the risk of fire during typical tunnel operation.…”

Influencing sub-contracted operatives' attitudes and behaviours towards improved health and safety culture in construction

“…Regardless of the legal infraction to an individual, the cost of a serious incident could send most companies bankrupt, which would impact the sub-contracted operatives directly. Although, it is an established procedure in tendering that sub-contractors submit a safe system of work with their tender bid but failure to follow fair and transparent procedures, which often happen in the public sector led to inappropriate risk assessment which causes serious H&S issues on-site (Patel et al ., 2021). As such, the whole supply chain should be on board, not only for ethical reasoning but to protect their equity and enhance the health and safety performance of sub-contractors.…”
