Abstract

This research study focuses on investigating the implementation practice of ISO 45001:2018 in the construction industry, specifically using Mesay Oli Construction as a case study. The aim of this study is to identify and analyze the key challenges faced by Mesay Oli Construction during the implementa-tion process, and propose effective strategies to overcome these challenges. ISO 45001:2018 is an international standard for occupational health and safety management systems, and its successful implementation is crucial for ensuring worker safety and minimizing workplace accidents in the con-struction industry. By conducting interviews, surveys, and analyzing relevant data, this research will provide insights into the specific hurdles encountered by Mesay Oli Construction, which may include compliance issues, resource constraints, lack of employee engagement, and resistance to change. Furthermore, strategies and best practices will be explored to offer practical recommendations for Mesay Oli Construction and other companies in the construction industry to optimize ISO 45001:2018 implementation processes. The findings of this research are expected to contribute to a better understanding of ISO 45001:2018 implementation challenges and provide practical solutions for successful adoption in the construction industry, ultimately enhancing safety and well-being for workers.
