A REVIEW ON MATERIAL HANDLING SAFETY IN CONSTRUCTION SITES

Construction sites are one of many hazardous workplaces since they entail various harmful duties. Material handling equipment has been identified as a key source of accidents at these locations in several investigations. Despite the fact that safety precautions are consistently Despite the fact that safety rules are followed and monitored, accident rates remain high because either workers are uninformed of hazards or safety regulations are not strictly adhered to. This paper investigates the safety management systems at construction sites using employee questionnaire surveys, with a focus on material handling equipment safety. Construction sites were chosen for a security education programmed concentrating on worker safety connected to material handling equipment based on the findings of the questionnaire surveys. Before and after the training, workers’ knowledge levels were examined, and the findings were subjected to a t-test analysis to determine the significance level of the completed safety education programmed.
