This paper mainly focuses to identifying the safety measures and practices that aid to prevent accidents and injuries on expressway as well as highway construction sites. By doing questionnaire survey all the data which formed and projected by observing causes of accidents and injuries on site and possible measures to prevent such incidents were collected. All the roads exists in different phases with several kilometers running. By conducting such survey and making reports, the results reveals that maximum of the injuries as like musculoskeletal disorders, accidents and strain transpired due to the collision with vehicles and equipment relating incidents. Motor graders, tippers, dumpers and cars cause the frequently reported workplace injuries. This paper concludes that use of compliance to safety rules & regulations, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE), compliance to safety regulations, changing and improving the control system of traffic with culture of employers and employees are possible safety measures and practices need to be adopted to mitigate the ergonomic workplace injuries in the Infrastructure/Highway construction projects particularly in developing countries as well as in developed countries. The construction site is spirited and is a huge sector. The complexity of nature for construction also has its hazards throughout the process until safety is assured. The sources directly as well as indirectly makes a huge impact on the construction progress. The safety measures to be adopted while progressing the construction of the roads is given, to assure that the workers and labours working on site are safe from all hazardous by providing them with all safety measures and avoiding the accidental causes on site. This are the new concepts in construction as a measures to enhance the safety of workers/labours working on site. To examine carefully the benefits of safety in construction place, and involving the measurements to prevent the accidental causes on site
