Abstract: This paper consists of safety and health in construction work. Construction work is dynamic, diverse, and constantly changing in nature. Construction project need a civil engineer who have adequate knowledge on techniques and the conventional practice. Construction is a high-risk activity, which must be managed from procurement, through the design process and to the end of the construction stage. Everyone involved in a building project must appreciate their role, from client, project supervisor design process (PSDP), designer, project supervisor construction stage (PSCS), contractor and employees. We place a high value on the safety and health of our employees. We are committed to providing a safe workplace for all employees and have developed this program for injury prevention to involve management, supervisors and employees in identifying and eliminating hazards that may develop during our work process.If a job represents a potential safety or health threat, every effort will be made to plan a safe way to do the task. Every procedure must be a safe procedure. Shortcuts in safe procedures by either foremen or workers will not be tolerated. If a worker observes any unsafe condition, which may pose a potential threat to their health or safety, it is expected that employees will immediately correct the situation when feasible or inform management. Management will take an active role on the safety and health committee. At least annually the safety and health committee will develop written safety and health goals and track monthly progress. These goals will be communicated to all employees. Committee will be comprised of management and hourly employees.
Keywords: safety and health in construction work, safe workplace, identifying and eliminating hazards.
