Safety Performance in Construction Industry in Dharmapuri Town

Although safety management is known to be vital to construction projects, very few studies have solicited views from construction practitioners about their perceptions of which safety management practices (SMPs) are important to construction projects and related to project performance. The suggestion is to improve the safety performance on the construction sites. The government should follow up the safety performance by visiting the construction sites and the insurance company should be more active in visiting the construction sites. The current study focus on site data's collection from the contractors, consultant, and owners by using questionnaire to evaluate the safety performance in the construction sites. In total, there were 40 questionnaires which were distributed to respondents with a response rate of 100%. The results show that there was still a lack of commitment from the government, the insurance company, the labour ministry, the owners, consultants, and also the contractors to improving safety performance on the construction sites.
