Managerial Strategy for Controlling Hazards in Building Construction Projects
Abstract: The construction site is always associated with man power intensive and hazardous work environments. Even today, controlling/minimizing hazards at any construction site is a challenging task. Hazard is defined as an inherent property of a substance or an occurrence, which has the potential to cause loss of injury to property, person or environment. The different sources of hazard at construction site includes physical, chemical, biological, natural, electrical and radiant energy …
