RISK MANAGEMENT FOR SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION PROJECTS
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
Due to the many intricate tasks involved, risk is an unavoidable component of any construction project. Thus, it is imperative to take worker safety into account in order to avoid multiple losses. In the context of safety in building projects, this scholarly article attempts to provide information about the risk management method. The risk management process can be categorized into the following four phases: 1) Risk identification is the first and most important step in making people aware of potential risks; 2) Risk assessment is the methodical examination, evaluation, and ranking of risks based on their effects and probability of occurring; 3) Risk response and planning is the process of creating and evaluating preventative strategies; and 4) Risk monitoring and controlling is the stressing of the necessity of closely monitoring and controlling risks in order to guarantee successful prevention and resolution. Since they can improve workplace safety, avoid and control work-related accidents, and help construction projects be completed successfully and in line with their intended goals, risk management procedures are highly significant.
