Abstract :
Managing health and safety on construction
sites has always been a challenging issue faced by the
Nigerian construction industry. Safety conditions on the
construction sites depends on type or nature of work to
be carried out and the management make commitment
to implement safety projects concerning construction.
There are no requirements assigned for implementing a
security management system by the Nigerian
government. Construction industries lacked a
framework to implement security regarding projects on
construction sites. Developing a Safety Framework can
help professionals involved in carrying out construction
works, implement and improve safety practices in
executing their projects on sites. This study presents the
development of a structure for implementing an
effective health security on construction sites. An
extensive review of the literature was carried out to
design an appropriate security framework. The results
underscore the requirement for competent personnel
who must be appointed to ensure safety on construction
sites. Finally, a security framework was developed in
which companies can accept and adhere. The results of
this research will help Nigerian construction companies
to improve safety on construction sites.
