Abstract
The building and construction process contributes to the growth and development of the
global and national economy, but it has a bad reputation because it suffers from a lack of
safety and frequent accidents in it.
We must focus on safety issues in the workplace and urge compliance with them by
everyone, as this is not limited to workers only, but it goes beyond that and reaches
contractors and supervisors of the project.
As there must be laws that compel all construction workers to take safety measures, and
workers also must have many skills that will help them manage the project in a sound manner
without any injuries, as project management personnel play an important role in
implementing safety measures and creating a safe environment in construction projects.
There are many different ways to reduce worker injuries and increase safety in various
engineering projects, while the application of these methods is the main factor in increasing
safety even though their application is costly, no doubt about that.
In this research, we will focus on studying the impact of safety measures in mitigating the
occurrence of injuries at construction sites and the extent to which all parties are complying
with these procedures by the contractor, owner, and workers.
Finally, we will create a special questionnaire for contractors and another for workers to
analyze the reality of safety in construction projects.
This is what will be done in this study and after completing that and preparing the
questionnaire we will distribute it to contractors, workers and owners in the next semester
and analyze the questionnaires to reach the most important factors and procedures that must
be adhered to reduce injuries and reach recommendations for contractors, owners and
workers in order to improve the safety measures in construction projects
