CONSTRUCION SAFETY IN ADDIS ABABA, THE CASE OF GRADE-1 BUILDING CONTRACTORS
This paper aims to assess construction safety among contractors mainly grade one that are working in Addis Ababa city. Safety in construction means doing construction activities with great care and minimize harm for humans, material loss and the environment degradation. Construction safety consideration is required at all stages of construction process which are, feasibility stage, design stage, construction stage, operation stage. Safety should also be important while conducting demolition of existing structures. Purpose of the study is to have a closer look on construction workers safety, the role of design and supervision for safe construction, importance of quality material for construction safety, importance of workmanship & construction safety and impact of construction in the environment and public safety. Data collection from primary sources with structured and open ended questions made. Analysis conducted mainly qualitatively. Closed ended questionnaires opinions used by likert scale method. Findings of the research indicate that the major consequenses in not meeting construction safety standards are material loss, loss of human life, harm to the public and environment which arise from use of poor quality material, lenience in supervision, poor workers safety awareness and poor workmanship. Recommendation from the result of the paper: all stake holders, clients, contractors, professionals, government need to do in collaboration on construction safety in order to minimize loss of life and material as well as minimize harm to the environment. Keywords: Workers safety, Quality material for safety, design & supervision for safety, workmanship for safety, environmental and public safety
