1. 1 Safety & Health Management

2. One of the most important factors that should be taken in consideration in the site, (from engineering point view), is the safety and health management. Safety and health management; is considered as a progress measure of the engineering and construction companies. 2

3. 3 Safety: The condition or state of being safe; freedom from danger or hazard; exemption from hurt, injury, or loss.

4. Hazard: A condition with the potential of causing or contributing to an accident or illness. 4

5. The different Safety 5

6. Rules in construction area under safety outline: knowing hazards and how to avoid them.  this mean know Construction Activity / Corresponding Hazard Identification and activity classification with respect to hazard. 6

9. UNIQUE FACTORS IN CONSTRUCTION AFFECTING S&H 9  Large but diverse and fragmented industry  every job is unique with numerous complex tasks  Labor intensive work involving large forces  Complex contractual arrangements leading to multi- employer projects

10. HOW SAFETY SAVES MONEY 10  Economic impacts  Direct and indirect accident costs  Workers compensation and EMR  Accident cost accounting

11. Result 11  Accidents can be tragic and costly.  Safety and health programs prevent injuries and fatalities, and save money  Effective program organization and implementation will help achieve OSHA compliance and lead to success at corporate and project levels.
