| Abstract | Construction industry in India has substantial economic importance. It gives job opportunities to all the people irrespective of their skill. Construction industry in India gives the employment to 33 million people and stands in the second position among all the industries after agriculture. Employment for most of the labour in Indian construction industry is on contract basis i.e., they are given work for a short time. Most of the construction workers employed are various other sectors such as agriculture, handlooms etc. These people migrated to construction sector due to the extinction of the previous sectors. As the construction industry is growing in India day by day more workers migrated to get money. So, when the employers recruit these kinds of workers, they face delays in projects due to accidents and fatalities, because these workers don’t have any knowledge and training regarding construction safety. When these workers work in the site, they are unable to predict the risks and expose to various hazards. Present study will focus on the safety management system implementation in Indian construction sector. A qualitative study has been conducted on four building construction companies in India. Interviews will be conducted with the safety experts and field observations will be done to know the actual safety management system of those four construction companies. Safety performance is also measured by considering the safety factors in Indian construction industry. |
