Construction projects are found to suffer various problems and complex factors such as cost, duration, quality safety, management etc. Construction industry has been growing remarkably during the past several years. However, the most hazardous worksites in the country may be found in this industry. Construction is a high hazard industry that usually comprises of a wide range of activities that may even involve construction, alteration, and repair too. Construction workers engage in many activities that would make them exposed to very serious hazards, such as falling from rooftops, unguarded machinery, being struck by heavy construction equipment, electrocutions, silica dust, asbestos, fire, trench collapse etc. Each project shall have a safety management system in place that outlines the policies, processes, instruction, and documentation that will serve to establish the culture of safety and understanding for all tiers involved on the project. It is thus necessary to find out the type of hazards that are common on site so as to suggest ways to minimize the same. Nowadays like most other countries in the world automation and digitalization is introduced in construction sector too that make construction activity much more faster and safer. The scope of a fully digitalized construction sector is to be analysed so as to implement safety at job site.
