Safety Considerations at Construction Sites in Kuwait

M. A. Ezz Al Din

Journal of Insurance Issues, 1990, vol. 13, issue 2, 89-98

Abstract: The importance of safety at construction sites is explained with some background study about related matters which should be checked in order to assure safety. Some superintendents think that safety may obstruct productive work but this is not true. Whenever job pressures increase, safety performance will decrease. Also, job control has great effect on safety at sites. These two concepts are explained with the help of two studies. Interviews were made with the safety department personnel in Kuwait Municipality and superintendents of the National Housing Authority (NHA) projects to get an idea of the safety arrangements performed there. The study concludes with recommendations to help promote safety performance at construction sites.
