| Abstract | Safety in the construction industry, as well as in the infrastructure sector, has always been a vital issue. The construction and infrastructure industry expose its workers to different occupational hazards which often results in fatal accidents. Most incidents in the construction industry are caused by human act more than improper conditions. Nearly 48000 people die at work every year. And an average of 38 fatal accidents per day. This is because lack of commitment towards safety and allocating insufficient safety budget in the project. So, present study focuses on the allocation of safety budget for various safety components and the reasons for the actual allocation, and the effects of safety budget components on the safety performance of the project as well as to see the effectiveness of site safety management. So that, this study can know how much budget is enough for the effective site safety management and good safety performance of the project. In this study we used spearman’s correlation analysis to find the results. And found the factors that are correlating with safety budget. It was found that what factors correlate with the basic safety budget and voluntary safety budget. Also, found that safety budget has its impact on condition of site safey management and safety performance of the project. As, the safety budget is categorized in three parts basic safety budget, voluntary safety budget and client requirement for safety budget. It was found that basic safety budget has more impact on site safety management and safety performance of the project than the voluntary safety budget. |
