The Impact of Protection and Safety at Work in The Performance of Construction Works

Session

Civil Engineering, Infrastructure and Environment

Description

This research examines how safety protocols and protective measures in the workplace affect the performance of construction workers. Construction sites are inherently dangerous environments, making it essential to implement effective safety procedures for both the well-being of workers and the efficiency of operations. This study investigates the relationship between workplace safety measures and worker productivity in the construction industry. It explores how the implementation of safety protocols can influence not only worker well-being but also project timelines and overall job performance. The research aims to provide insights into the potential benefits and challenges of prioritizing safety in construction environments. The research employed a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative analysis of safety incident records and performance metrics with qualitative interviews of construction workers and managers. Results indicate that robust safety measures, including comprehensive training programs and strict adherence to protective equipment usage, correlate significantly with improved job performance, reduced accident rates, and increased overall productivity. Furthermore, the study reveals that safety-oriented workplace cultures contribute to enhanced worker morale and job satisfaction, further positively influencing performance outcomes. These findings underscore the importance of integrating stringent safety practices into construction management strategies to optimize both human and operational factors in construction projects. The paper concludes with recommendations for policy makers and industry stakeholders to prioritize safety enhancements as a means of achieving improved performance and fostering a safer work environment.
