| dc.description.abstract | Many accidents and hazards are visible in construction activity. Meanwhile, as the construction sector continues to grow, the number of catastrophic injuries and fatalities on the field has increased. As a result, the goal of this study is to evaluate the safety measures used in construction projects at Arba Minch University by looking into the methods implemented. The study aims to identify the most important safety measures, as well as underlying weaknesses and strengths, as well as the principles that underpin effective management. The research was conducted using a combined quantitative and qualitative survey approach, with primary data collected through a questionnaire and interview. A total of 34 questionnaires were sent out to all contractors and consultants in this study, with 33 replies being gathered for analysis. The respondents are found in the Arba Minch region, which is where the entire project is located. The data was evaluated statistically and qualitatively in Microsoft Excel-13 spreadsheet and SPSS- 20 using descriptive statics approach. Overall, the study's findings demonstrated that the majority of contractors have a poor track record of implementing safety measures. According to contractor responses, the root causes of construction site accidents include carelessness/ignorance and poor working conditions.
