3Section 1: Research aim, rationale and objectives1.1 The aim of the research The main aim of this research is to acknowledge all the stages involved in safetymanagement and differentiating between the success and failure of the project ineach aspect like history, behavior, environmental, psychological, andorganizational and many others. This research provides a proper explanation ofhow the safety factors implemented in order to set the guidelines to be followed.The success or failure of the safety management in construction industry arefunctions of the implementation of the safety factors. 1.2 The research rationaleHealth and safety management in the construction industry has a high importancewithin the industry professionals. It is considered against the rights of theplanning authorities, clients, consultants and contractors. The health and safetymanagement became an integral part of the organizational framework as well asother related organizations. According to Clarke et al. (2005), as cited inChileshe & Dzisi (2012) almost all of the workplaces (93%) reported employeesickness absence. About 94% of workplaces are aware of the accident cases.Obstacles to implementing health and safety management are represented mainlyin the time restrictions, cost, low priority, small size, lack of knowledge and lackof information and guidance and support.The construction injuries have a negative direct impact on the workers and thework itself. The work is affected through construction delays, lower productivityand higher insurance premiums that result from injuries. The indirect impactincludes loss of future revenue for the business and loss of future income for the
4injured workers. The most common causes of injuries are falls, being caught in orbetween objects, electric choke, affection by toxic gases, fire and many otherreasons [ CITATION Chi12 \l 1033 ].Most of the subcontractors can predict the risks, as the construction of a buildingis much more than the skillful performance of the subcontractor. The health andsafety management requires the all trades to work cooperatively during theproject lifetime. Also, legislations have to consider the rights of workers forhaving health and safety standards [ CITATION Wad10 \l 1033 ].Risk is considered a probability of a favorable outcome that arises from adecision. In the construction management, risk is an exposure of economic lossarising from the involvement in a construction project. Many professionals in theconstruction sector do not realize the potential impact on other associated risksthat may impact the business operations. The holistic risk management approachenables the organization to manage all sources of business risks. It will enhancethe risk mitigation and ensure safety management at workplace [ CITATION Sha11\l 1033 ]. There is a large amount of literature on health and safety on-site, but there is alack of research on the confined construction sites and the increasing level ofrisks that workers face in the workplace. According to while Illingworth (2000)and Cooke and Williams (2004), as cited in Spillane et al., (2012), it isrecommended that an organization make effective design site layout to maximizespace on-site which results in lower risk.
