| dc.description.abstract | Occupational accidents are very common in construction industry but its impact on project performance was barely studied. The purpose of this study was to scrutinize effect of health and safety practice on construction performance by giving due consideration on the impact of occupation accident of the three project performance measures: Schedule, cost and quality. Accordingly, two building construction companies of BC 2 and BC 3 were selected for the study. The Companies have a combined staffs of over 100 out of which 15 staffs are administrative staffs and not directly exposed to construction site accidents and in effect excluded from the study. The rest of the employees were entirely participated in the study. Data were collected through questionnaire and analyzed through SPSS 20.0 using statistical tools like ANOVA, mean, frequency and Standard deviation. According to the study, construction place accidents were mainly emanated from failure of management to enforce workplace safety policy and procedure, incompetence on the side of employee and scarcity of PPE. Accidents happened due to these reasons impedes project schedule through disruption of operation ; escalate project budget due to raise in insurance premium , re-work of damaged works and compensation for injured employees; and in general adversely affect project quality . | en_US |
