Abstract
The concept of safety culture is relatively new in the construction industry; however, it is gaining popularity due to its ability to embrace all perceptional, psychological, behavioral and managerial factors. To address the lack of a verifiable process to assess construction safety culture, this paper presents a conceptual model that has its roots firmly entrenched in pertinent academic and applied literature. The paper provides a critical review of the term safety culture. along with distinct yet related concepts. Safety Motivation, Safety Climate, and Safety Behaviour. In particular, the model hypothesises that Safety Climate has a mediating role on the relationship between Safety Motivation and Safety Behaviour. The objective of present work is to study the various site safety measures at building construction sites and to compare the site safety measures with relevant safety codes. The study pertains to find out the provisions as laid down in the BIS codes for various aspects of safety measures at construction sites. The study included, physically visiting different construction sites, collecting the data regarding safety provisions adopted and feedback from site engineers by using questionnaire will help in implementing the safety measures at building sites more efficiently. So that that the present study will help out in ascertaining the proper safety planning in building construction.
