A study of construction safety administration on building sites in Nairobi area
Abstract
This study is about the administration of construction
safety on building sites. The phrase construction safety is hereby
used in its wider usage and meaning which embraces the
occupational safety of workers involved in construction work
on the sites, the safety of parties who may only be remotely
associated with the activities on site either as pedestrians or
other people carrying out their businesses near the site or
in its immediate environs but close enough for them to be
affected by accidents occuring on site and finally the safety
of material property that is likely to be damaged in case of
accident occurence emanating from the site activities. The
term administration is taken to include the total control and
direction of all matters that may relate or are circumstantial
to the entire. state of safety of the construction work place.
The study considers the administrators of safety at the
construction site as being the complete institutional framework
necessary for the existence of a construction work environment
free of undue risks which are responsible for triggering off
the accident causation mechanism......................................................
