As we know that construction industry is the most hazardous place, a construction site is any piece of land where a particular structure is to be develop, in this work on construction sites are required large tools, lifting machine and many heavier machines for work. Many times, we can see worker work at height, due to this there are many hazards takes place because of the nature of such work, working on construction sites can be dangerous. Many reports published that construction was found to be the main industry for fetal injuries to workers, normally construction hazards are highly dependent upon the construction work that is being carried out. There are many risks which are takes place on construction sites they may be- slip and falls, working at height, noise, moving objects, electricity and so on. And to avoid such type of hazards at construction there are many organizations who works for this- how can mitigate such type of hazards? And what are the main cause behind this type of hazards? Overall the conclusion of this type of hazards is that less awareness, less knowledge and less education. OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration) was created within the department of labor, OSHA is responsible for worker safety and health protection. The main objective of OSHA to ensures a minimum standard of job safety and health that all employers must follow to protect employees. OSHA organize many program and training session in order to minimize the hazards. The main cause of construction hazards is working with height, excavation, noise and so on. And the most fatalities are caused by the fatal four- falls, moving object, working at height, and being caught in between two objects. Does this type of hazards occur due to less awareness, less education, and less knowledge? Does this type of hazards take place because employees don’t know meaning of PPE? Does this type of hazards occur because there is no prior safety training is given to employees? due to this the employees can not analyses the amount of risk. Therefore, it can be evaluating that this type of hazards can be minimize by providing proper training as per safety standard, use of PPE (Personal Protective Equipment). Construction work has been increasing in developing countries over the past years, as construction play an important role in today modern age of technology, no field of engineering is conceivable without their use, construction industry plays a vital role in national economy as its output governs both the rate and quality. Thus, with an increasing this type of work occupational fatalities have increased. With in the field of job safety comes first.
