Safety at construction site / Muhammad Izzat Nor Baharin

In the construction industry, clients today are demanding high quality workmanship. The higher the quality achieved in building projects ensures future marketability and enhances the confidence of clients. The industry is influenced by substantial external factors which are different from the manufacturing industry where goods are produced under controlled conditions. Construction cannot be confined to a controlled environment like that of workmanship or a factory. It is essentially n outdoor activity which demands the involvements of many stakeholders to ensure the timely completion of work which should be
of sound quality and desired economic value. Poor quality work and failure may claim huge amounts and in extreme cases, may even result in loss of human life.
