With the growing trend of population Pakistan is gradually enlisting in the top ten countries with the major share of its city Karachi and financial hub of Pakistan. It is becoming the largest city of Asia. From the past decades, Unemployment, Illiteracy, lack of medical facilities are the highlighted problems of Pakistan and normally people prefer to migrate Karachi as per the fulfillment of their needs and requirements. As per the statistics, from the migrated people, 15% to 20% are associated with the construction and labor works. They pretend to do work in the open construction sites due to high level of illiteracy having a language, cultural and social behavior in city. The whole family is entirely based on that particular labor and they are willing to do extra work in order to get extra beneficial money. In some cases, children of the labors also engaged with that work on daily wages. Due to high impact of cultural behavior, the labors have a little knowledge of construction safety and this ultimately correspond to the onsite accidents. The thematic idea is purely based with the formulation of policy for the life saving of mankind with respect to construction industry. Various types of labors are interviewed accordingly in order to get the clear picture of site accidents with the respective measure which is the ultimate goal of this research paper. The construction safety practices are adopted in order to ensure the safety plans for each concerned member of the project or in other words, it is correlated with each other. It deals with the arrangements for the management of health and safety of the work place such as hazard identification, site safety checks etc, the check balance and the monitoring system, follow up and awareness raising issue reports and risk management (1). It is quite evident to impart a designed safety organization keeping in view, minimizing the chances of site accidents. Implementation of Safety is a line management function; therefore its ownership lies with them. It is predominantly engaged with the provision of expertise and supervision of work environment and equipment handling including lifting tool, tackles, scaffolding, ladders etc used in construction. The major broader areas that should be proactive for any construction industry are safety surveillance and safety related deficiency management system, track force enforcing safety at construction projects, contractor's safety surveillance and correction programs and induction of safety trainings (2). II. INSIGNIFICANT SAFETY CULTURE IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY 2.1 Conceptual Framework Due to the high number of accidents at construction site leading towards the uniqueness of this industry. It is entirely dependent on many factors like behavioral changes, nature of construction site, criticalities of the construction work, unsafe safety culture, inadequate machine operations at the site and non compliance to the various set procedures. An efficient safety management system ought to be based on the safety awareness that should become a culture in the construction industry involving all the parties. The system should be shown to the public, and as well as healthy and safety in environmental value business (3). The workers are not well aware of the safe practices that should be adopted at the construction site; the system needs to be remold with the training of the labors which is only possible by setting out the credential policy form stakeholder side. |
