also very essential in construction industry as there is a high risk due to heavy machineries and
electric equipments which could impact security of worker on construction site. This also helps
the project manager help project to understand all the factors to increase the efficiency of project

very essential on construction site to develop healthy working environment and protect workers
from any hazardous activity (Jiang and Wong, 2016). Every construction business organization

legal regulations which also benefit workers as well as employers. Increase in the technology in
construction industry has also increased the electronic equipments to increase the speed of work

flow of electricity and also all the construction equipments are working properly. This also helps
to improve the healthy working environment of the construction site and increase productivity

effectively. It is very essential for project manager to increase all falls traps to reduce the falling
risk and incidents as it is very common that workers fall from the construction sites and die. By
ensuring proper net and harness while working on heights this can be reduced and also helped to
make more effective decision for the employees effectively.
It is also very important to provide construction sire protective equipments to all the
workers which help to protect their body from harm. this also helps to reduce cost and increase

very essential to motivate employees to manage all the working of the construction site to
increase the quality of construction of the building. As this helps to protect the users and will
help to occupy the project to according to requirements (Rondinelli and London, 2017).
Promoting and providing ethical value in the construction site also increase the shared values of
workers to increase amount of efforts to complete the construction on time to increase goodwill

them in company permanently and also increased the revenue generation opportunity effectively.
Developing safety programs in the construction site and encouraging all the employees and

Material handling is very essential aspect in construction site as the cost of material is
also costly and if the worker is not having about all the material it can impact the foundation of
buildings and can lead to large tragedy. There are many factors which are very essential to
identify effective material and in the construction site to increase that quality of project. Storage
is one of the most effective requirements of construction site which need to be fulfilled and
increase the productivity. As all the building material has to be stored in secured place which can
also easily accessible by machines and does not spoil due to change in weather and other factors.
This also improves the efficiency of employees to gain effective experiences for future projects.
Construction site also need to adopt effective project team with all the employees which have
proper knowledge about all the areas of construction to improve the quality in market effectively.
