Abstract

This review paper focuses on the determination of the major safety factors that governed the success of a safety management system for construction sites. Construction activity in India has made considerable development in the past two decades in the account with increase in development activities, government policies, and public demand. At the same time safety issues have become a major concern to construction organizations. Safety management on construction sites had always been a major issue in the construction industry of India. Particularly for Surat city where currently 547 construction project are ongoing and construction companies in Surat have tried to control the rising costs of accidents and reduce projects delays due to the accidents; however, they do not know why the safety programs do not work efficiently, or where to start. This situation suggested the need for the present study, which is aimed to identify the major factors affecting the implementation of safety programs in high rise building construction. Outcomes from this study will provide a set of critical factors that can be used to guide a successful construction safety program implementation as well as safety policy development in the construction industry in Surat. The factors affecting the success of activities and projects, often named critical success factors (CSFs) can be defined as "areas in which results, if they are satisfactory, will ensure success within and of the organisation".
