Stakeholders’ Perception on Cost Implication of Health and Safety Measures in Construction Projects in Minna, Nigeria
Abstract
Health and safety (H&S) measures are crucial in mitigating risks and ensuring the well-being of workers on construction sites. However, implementing these measures often incurs significant costs, which stakeholders may perceive differently. This paper aims to evaluate the major factors influencing the cost of H&S measures in construction projects in Nigeria from the perspective of various stakeholders, including contractors, project managers, and regulatory bodies. A quantitative methods approach was adopted, to gather data from industry professionals, data collected were analyzed using statistical products for services solutions (SPSS), in order to attain the objective of the study as discussed, mean items score (MIS) was used, descriptive statistics was used to show the frequencies and mean of reaction to questions. The findings indicate that factors such as lack of training and re-training of the staff, providing safety environment, trained safety representative, policy and regulatory compliance, Safety equipment costs, and site-specific risks significantly influence the cost of implementing H&S measures. Recommendations for optimizing safety standards are provided, along with suggestions for future research.
