Abstract
The difficulty of determining the factors that achieve safety on Egyptian construction sites as a result of multiple and different criteria and different relative weights of the criteria represents a challenge to achieve safety and a secure environment on construction sites. This issue has been of interest for many decades and continues to be a topic of discussion today because of construction project management is rapidly modernizing. The paper aims to identify the safety standards most commonly used on construction sites, and determine their relative weights as seen by the target audience and also estimate the cost of safety measures used in construction projects.
The questionnaire was designed and implemented to collect realistic information covering relevant parties and distributed it to 82 target audiences from different categories, including consultants, site engineers, and site managers. It included 4 specific answers (Very important, Important, Little important, and Unimportant) and consists of 9 Main -criteria and 76 sub- criteria as the most important criteria. The most important Main - criteria are “Preparation of OHS plan"," Work protective equipment (APE)", "Personal protective equipment (PPE) ", "Signs required, "Others related to Construction Safety risk control". This study concerns with providing construction managers and professionals with recommendations to achieve the highest safety standards in Egyptian construction sites and developing countries
