Abstract

In construction industry there has not been a significant decrease in number of fatality rates, injuries and death rates in construction site despite of the efforts made by safety experts and government officials. Some of the factors which are playing a vital roles are inappropriate work planning, ineffective way of communication between workers and supervisors and poor safety planning. Construction industry is one of the most hazardous industry around the globe because of its nature of work and environment. The aim of this research is to highlight the factors that are responsible for causes of accidents in construction projects and to elaborate the visualization technology in construction safety management. Furthermore, the research design and methodology will also presented which will serve as a guidance to the construction safety model. The project results will help in creating a platform for safety management model in order to improve the safety performances and to help in reduction in accidents in construction sites.
