Roles and responsibilities of project participants as a determinant of risk mitigation for injury on construction sites

Abstract

This research paper will focus on indentifying and evaluating the significance of roles and responsibilities of project participants as a determinant of risk mitigation for injury on construction sites. Subsequently proposal for developing our very own version of Building and construction Classification System while establishing a Construction Risk Management framework that integrate the association of hierarchical levels of project participants and authorities will be recommended. In addition to that, several suggestions will be aligned to complement the proposals in facilitating the efforts of improving workplace safety on construction sites. Such modelling of approaches are intended to fill a theoretical gap in our understanding levels on how significant roles and responsibilities of project participants as a determinant of risk mitigation to casualties on construction sites. Consequences of these actions are targeted to emphasize the importance of the top three significance roles and responsibilities of project participants obtained from this research where all three are consultant-oriented – completeness of information, responsibility of inspection and corrective actions and timely transmission of design changes to contractors, in view of ensuring safety, health and social requirements of domestic construction sites are fulfilled
