Analysis of how Accidents Affect Construction Projects in Kosovo

Session

Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment

Description

Due to the inherently dangerous nature of the construction industry, accidents of varying severity (minor, moderate, and fatal) are unfortunately not uncommon. The personal cost is high, but the damage done to the reputation of the profession is equally high. Authorities everywhere have raised the bar for site safety, leading to increased productivity on building sites everywhere. Accidents persist, though, therefore studying this topic further is essential. Accidents, from the perspective of a construction company, represent both unanticipated and unnecessary expenditures. A company's mission or even its ability to compete in its industry could be altered or even eliminated as a result of an accident. Accurately predicting potential accidents is a crucial skill for construction project managers to have. Accidents on construction sites in Kosovo raise four questions that are investigated here:

  1. How do accidents affect building projects?

  2. To what extent do unknown factors have a role in these incidents, ?

  3. How do fatalities and financial losses result from accidents?

  4. How may we improve the project's performance in light of the accident's unknowns?

This study's goals are to learn more about what factors lead to accidents on construction sites, and to find out how such incidents affect the budget, schedule, scope, and reputation of a business, as well as national safety benchmarks. The majority of construction site mishaps are the result of human error, although accidents can also occur because of ignorance or blunders. As a result, accidents are unfortunately inevitable in the building trade. Performance in construction site safety may be enhanced if all persons involved, from the project manager to the laborer, were committed to excellent practices.
