Industrial Safty Project Abstract

This document discusses a research project that aims to identify and evaluate safety management in construction projects. A literature review provided background on safety management and informed the design of a questionnaire. The questionnaire was distributed to construction professionals to collect opinions on factors influencing safety. The objectives of the study are to examine how health and safety management systems, training, cost of risk control measures, and client influence affect implementation of occupational health and safety measures in the construction industry in Mombasa County, Kenya. A structured questionnaire was used to collect views from experienced professionals working in different construction sites and compare perspectives.

TITLE OF THE PROJECT

22. “SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION WORKS”

2. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM


The aim of this research is to identify and evaluate the safety management in construction
projects to minimise and control health and safety (H&S) of construction workers. Questionnaire
is used to collected a wide range of opinions from experienced professionals working in different
construction sites for comparison between them. The reviews of the related literature are the first
step in obtaining information from previously related studies.
The literature reviews provide a theoretical background about safety management that guided the
design of the questionnaire. This research concludes that the construction industry has a high
number of fatalities and long-term injuries. This is unacceptable in a modern society and it also
makes the industry inefficient, with days lost due to injuries. This research shows that the high
rates of accidents are due to several common factors, such as poor construction planning, lack of
safety in design, inadequate safety training, worker behaviour, inherent safety H&S risk of
construction and lack of knowledge of site rules.

3. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY

The broad objective of the study was to examine the factors affecting implementation of
occupational health and safety measures in the construction industry in Kenya, the case of
Mombasa County.
The specific objectives of the study were:-
1) To establish the extent to which health and safety management systems affect implementation
of occupational health and safety measures.
2) To establish the extent to which training and induction affect implementation of occupational
health and safety measures in building construction sites.
3) To investigate whether the cost of risk control measures affect implementation of occupational
health and safety procedures.
4) To assess how a building-project client influences implementation of occupational health and
safety measures in a building project.
4. RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
A structured questionnaire was used for the first part of this research. The aim of the
questionnaire was to collect a wide range of opinions from the experience professional people
working in different construction sites and make comparison between them. The survey
questionnaire was developed and distributed to various stakeholders (designers, project
managers, site engineers, contractors, clients, and others) involved in construction projects.
To understand and analyze the best strategies and issues about safety management in
construction projects, structured questionnaire tool for research methodology were used
