The construction industry causes more damage to human life and health than any other industry in the world. The safety management in construction industry presently is overlooked either due to negligence or as a result of cost saving. In most of the developing countries like India, construction sector experiences worker's accident and injuries at site on a daily basis. The type of accident and injuries could be prevented by implementing stringent safety management plans at site. Construction accidents incurs several direct and indirect costs to the company. Worker's injury and personal pain can never be measured, but the other costs resulting from the equipment damage, worker compensation, insurance inflation and change in schedule of constructions impacts the profitability of company. These costs could be minimized or avoided through focused safety efforts at construction job sites. This paper describes the concern of implementation of an effective safety plan and factors to be considered to minimize the unforeseen risks. Major factors like information on the physical job site conditions, adequate inspection, rigorous drill, recordation of near miss events with resolution, behaviour and observation of workforce etc. must be analysed and considered to implement an effective safety plan. This paper discusses construction works such as excavation, working at height, confined space, chemical and biological works, electrical works and material handling with its detailed effective management techniques. The importance of these safety factors will ensure better safety at Indian construction sites and safer workplace for workers.
