Abstract

The construction site is infamous for having a high risk of fatal accidents, making it one of the most dangerous activities. This is especially true in the context of high-rise building construction when the complexity and intensity of activities enhance the likelihood of serious accidents. The complex and high-pressure environment on construction sites, along with the nature of the work, raises the hazards involved, demanding stringent safety precautions. Considering these problems, this study focuses on the creation and evaluation of Emergency Response Plans (ERPs) in the construction site, with a special emphasis on their implementation and usefulness in reducing accidents on construction sites.The study discusses the critical need for effective ERP in the construction sector, recognising that the incidence of accidents, including fatalities, is frighteningly high. Inadequate management systems, bad safety regulations, insufficient safety education, a lack of personal protection equipment, and poor working conditions all contribute to these events. The study intends to investigate and suggest successful solutions that contractors may use as part of their ERPs, emphasising the need of speedy and efficient crisis management to ensure worker safety and project continuity. The study highlights the critical need for enhanced safety management in the construction sector. This study aims to improve overall site safety practices by identifying hazards on construction sites, analysing factors that lead to poor safety practices, and highlighting effective management strategies, reducing the risk of accidents and improving the safety and health of construction workers.
