| dc.description.abstract | This study has assessed the current health and safety practices used in constructing high rise buildings in Addis Ababa. The study has given weight to health and safety issues which have been ignored by the construction society. The study used descriptive design. Questionnaires were distributed to 85% of the employees of the case company. A sample of fifty employees of the case company was taken. A total of six people including the managers were interviewed to get general information about the project. The researcher had own observation to the project sites using an observation checklist. Descriptive statistical analysis was the major technique used to analyse the data collected from the questionnaires. The data were entered to Excel and interpreted and analysed by SPSS version 20 software programme. Triangulation was used to analyse the data collected from the questionnaire, interview and researcher’s own observation all together. The researcher recommended that every real estate company should have in-house health and safety policy, appointed personnel, suitable facilities, and PPEs for all workers on the site, and should include health and safety obligations in the agreements while contracting external contractors. | en_US |
