Introduction
• The construction industry is vital for economic growth and employment.
• It involves high-risk tasks, leading to frequent accidents.
• Safety in construction impacts worker well-being and project success.
• Study focus: Identifying factors influencing health and safety in construction workplaces.
• Lack of safety awareness and management negligence contribute significantly to accidents.
• Enhancing employee sustainable performance (E-SuPer) through systematic safety measures.
2
Problem Statement
• Construction has the highest rate of workplace accidents globally.
• Common risks: Falls from heights, equipment failures, structural collapses.
• Extended work hours lead to stress-related health issues.
• The need for safety training and regular safety audits.
• Identifying key safety factors and improving workplace safety standards to prevent fatalities.
3
Objectives and Scope
• Identify factors affecting health and safety in construction projects.
• Analyze the relationship between safety factors and accident rates.
• Develop strategic measures for improved safety training and policy implementation.
• Study conducted in Tamil Nadu (Chennai, Trichy, Coimbatore, Madurai).
• Data collected from contractors, sub-contractors, and workers.
• Consideration of demographic influences on safety compliance.
4
Methodology
•Research Type: Exploratory study.
•Sample Size: 120 respondents.
•Sampling Method: Stratified random sampling.
•Data Collection: Structured questionnaire.
•Analysis Tools: SPSS, Regression Analysis, ANOVA.
•Key Variables: Health and Safety Policy, Safety Training, Accident Investigation, Safety
Communication, Safety Promotion, Personal Protection
•Pilot Study: Conducted with 30 samples, Cronbach Alpha value = 0.902.

Conceptual Framework
• Health and Safety Policy – Establishes guidelines and regulations to ensure a safe working
environment in the construction sector.
• Safety Training – Provides workers with the necessary knowledge and skills to handle workplace
hazards and follow safety protocols.
• Accident Investigation – Identifies the root causes of workplace accidents to prevent future
occurrences and improve safety measures.
• Safety Communication – Ensures clear and effective information sharing about safety policies, risks,
and best practices among employees.
• Safety Promotion – Encourages continuous learning and awareness campaigns to reinforce safe work
practices and compliance.
• Personal Protection – Emphasizes the use of protective equipment such as helmets, gloves, and
safety gear to minimize workplace risks.

Data Analysis & Results
•Demographic Analysis:
• Majority of respondents: 21-30 years old.
• 64.5% male, 35.5% female.
• 42.7% hold an undergraduate degree.
•One-Way ANOVA Results:
• Significant relationship between safety factors and project outcomes and Sustainable Performance
• Factors like safety policy, training, and accident investigation impact project completion time.
• Need for stricter safety policy enforcement at worksites.
9
Data Analysis & Results
•Regression Analysis Findings:
• R = 0.712: Strong correlation between safety factors that ensure project success and Sustainable
Performance.
• R Square = 0.507: 50.7% variance in project outcomes explained by safety measures.
• Safety communication, promotion, and personal protection significantly improve performance.
• Training barriers due to lack of engagement and management support need to be addressed.
•Equation: Outcome (E-Su Per) = 0.12(Safety Policy) + 0.112(Training) + 0.169(Accident Investigation)
+ 0.351(Communication) + 0.349(Promotion) + 0.440(Protection).
10
Summary of Major Findings
• Null hypothesis rejected for all safety factors, proving their significant impact.
• Safety training and accident reporting need improvement.
• Personal protection programs are the most influential factor for reducing risks.
• Organizations with structured safety policies experience reduced accidents and increased efficiency.
• Regression results indicate that effective safety measures improve project completion rates and reduce
costs.
• Lack of enforcement of safety policies leads to higher accident rates and worker dissatisfaction.
11
Recommendations / Conclusions
• Training & Compliance – Conduct regular safety training, audits, and inspections.
• Technology & Monitoring – Use digital tracking and enhance accident reporting.
• Worker Engagement – Strengthen communication, encourage PPE use, and implement safety
incentives.
• Safety as a Priority – Essential for sustainability, worker well-being, and project success.
• Integrated Approach – Training, policies, and compliance must be embedded in project management.
• Continuous Improvement – Government regulations, industry collaboration, and monitoring ensure
long-term safety.
