SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR CONSTRUCTION WORKERS
Title and Introduction
This research paper is aimed at developing the various process which is used for
developing the security of the workforces in the construction project. For the conduction of this
research an ongoing road construction projects – “Samarlakota–Rajanagaram road section” and
“Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) projects” have been selected in
Andhra Pradesh, India. It is essential to take care of the health and safety of the workers in the
construction industry as they work in harsh conditions, and if proper steps are not taken, then
lives can be lost. From the research paper, overall knowledge of risks and the various process to
avoid the risk will be gained. Some of the objectives for the research are:
To understand the various philosophies circulating around the various safety and
health measured of the construction company workers.
To critically assess the various challenges which are faced by construction safety
workers.
To critically understand the various steps which needs to be taken by Construction
Company to take care of the health and safety of the workers.
To understand the various aspects which needs to be taken by the construction
company in implementing steps for health and safety for workers.
Literature Scope
A lot of research has been conducted in the past regarding the health and safety
environment of the construction workers. In developing countries like India, it is essential to
assess the fact that proper care is not provided to the construction workers. In the non-farming
sector, the construction industry in India comprises the right amount of occupation. The

construction industry in India is out of hand with the increase in population in the country. The
construction workers of India comprises of 7.5 % of the total labour force of the world (Laskar
and Murty 2004). According to (Sousa, Almeida and Dias 2014), the various performance of the
construction companies in addressing the health and safety environment of the workers is
abysmal. In accordance to (Subramanyan, Sawant and Bhatt 2012), in various developed
countries with the improvement in technology a lot of scopes have been identified in the
construction industry but at the same time have increased the risks for the construction workers.
At some point in time in the construction industry, it has been seen that a worker is unfit. The
unavailability of workers is mainly due to the various accidents which happen to them at regular
intervals. The workers in the construction industry face various health problems while working
under adverse conditions in the workplace (Thomas and Wilson 2013). At present, there are five
construction projects ongoing of Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC)
and one project relating to the road constructing on Samarlakota–Rajanagaram road section. In
the past, it has been seen that the workers in the construction industry of India have faced a lot of
accidents. The literature review will be conducted focussing on the various problems in the
construction industry and the various process by the aid of which these problems can be avoided
regarding Health and Safety Environment of the construction companies.
The different perspectives which have been selected by previous authors for the
conduction of the research on the fitness and security of the construction workers are towards the
various steps which need to be taken by the company and the various steps which the workers
must follow. A systematic approach needs to be conducted on the topic regarding the needs of
the workers and what suggestions the workers give in reducing their risks of working in the
construction site. According to Guo, Yiu and González (2016), there are many steps which can
