Abstract:
The construction industry in India, as the second largest employer after agriculture, faces significant challenges in ensuring worker safety due to its largely unorganised nature, a lack of formal accident reporting systems, and a workforce that is predominantly unskilled and migratory. These factors, combined with hazardous working conditions and the temporary nature of construction work, contribute to a high incidence of workplace accidents. The absence of systematic screening and insufficient enforcement of safety regulations further exacerbate the risks, making the sector particularly vulnerable to accidents resulting in serious injuries or fatalities. To address these issues, a comprehensive research study was conducted, employing both quantitative and qualitative methods to analyse the factors influencing safety on construction sites. The study led to the development and implementation of a total construction safety management system model, grounded in the Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) cycle. This model introduces Key Safety Performance Indicators (KSPI) and specialised tools, such as an electrical safety audit, to systematically measure and improve safety outcomes. The research underscores the importance of adopting efficient safety management techniques and offers strategic recommendations for organisations to enhance workplace safety, reduce accidents, and foster a safer environment for construction workers in the long term.
