  • Abstract:
  • The construction industry continues to face a high incidence of equipment-related accidents, which result in considerable human, financial, and legal repercussions. Ensuring equipment safety is a critical component of effective construction management, as such incidents not only endanger lives but also contribute to costly delays, liability issues, and damage to a company’s reputation. This research explores equipment safety within construction management by identifying major hazards, contributing risk factors, and effective safety measures. A mixed-methods approach was adopted, incorporating survey responses from construction professionals and in-depth case studies of equipment-related incidents. The findings emphasize the crucial role of regular equipment maintenance, comprehensive operator training, and adherence to safety protocols in mitigating accidents. Additionally, the study identifies areas that require further attention, such as the enforcement of stricter safety regulations, the cultivation of a strong safety culture, and the integration of innovative technologies. The results offer practical recommendations for construction managers, regulatory bodies, and industry stakeholders aiming to improve equipment safety and foster safer job sites. A key takeaway is the importance of embedding a proactive safety culture within construction teams to ensure compliance with safety standards and raise awareness of safe practices. By tackling these essential aspects, this study contributes to the broader effort of enhancing safety management in construction, supporting both industry growth and the well-being of its workforce. Overall, the research consolidates insights from multiple sources to highlight persistent challenges and emerging solutions in equipment safety across the construction sector.
