Identification of Factors Influencing Safety in South Indian Construction Projects
Safety in the construction industry has emerged as a key concern around the world. When compared to other industries, the construction industry has the highest proportion of injuries and fatalities among its employees. Compared to workers in other industries, construction workers are three times more likely to be injured in the workplace than their counterparts. A multitude of factors contributes to the poor safety performance of the workers, which is the leading cause of accidents. To enhance safety performance, it is necessary to study the possible reasons and contributing factors to construction accidents. The purpose of this study is to assess the relevant characteristics impacting safety performance in the construction process so as to decrease the probability of accidents. A diverse range of opinions from competent experts working on a variety of construction sites may be gathered via the use of a survey questionnaire. Using a relative importance index (RII) method, the most and least affecting factors of safety were identified.
