الملخص الإنجليزي

Construction is one of the most hazardous industries due to its unique nature. Most researches done into occupational health and safety have shown that the high rates of injury are primarily due to inadequate, or non-existent of health and safety systems in sites.

Therefore, the application of safety in construction sites effectively contributes to reduce these rates. This research evaluates the application of the current safety regulations, describes safety procedures adopted by owners, consultants, contractors, governmental institutions, and insurance companies, and assesses the suitability of these regulations and procedures for the Gaza Strip environment and workforce.

It also discusses problems associated with enforcing safety regulations at construction sites.

Furthermore, the study identifies the role played by different construction parties in applying the safety systems in the construction sites in the Gaza Strip. Data was gathered from contractors, consultants, and owners by using a questionnaire to assess the safety performance in construction projects.

110 questionnaires were distributed.

The responding rate exceeded 75 % from the invited parties. The study concludes that management of owners, consultants, and contractors are all aware of the importance of safety in construction.

However, they do not actively pursue the effective ways to achieve the safety goals.

Recommendations of this research were suggested to activate the roles of government, insurance, designer, consultant, owner, and contractor.

Government should develop and oblige construction safety regulations.

Government and insurance should arrange construction site visits to insure the application of safety measures in the sites.

Consultants should participate the owners to improve the validity and the sufficiency of the safety provisions in the contracts.

Contractors should carry out a detailed safety work plan which gives an opportunity to perform each task safely.
