dc.description.abstractThis study assessed the health and safety measures that are implemented in the construction of high-rise buildings in Addis Ababa by sunshine construction plc. The study focused on health and safety issues that have been neglected by the building industry. A descriptive research design was used in this study. The research method employed in this study was a data from questionnaire. The example company distributed the questionnaires and received responses from 83.6 percent of them. The sample size for this study was 67 employees who worked at the example company. The survey data was analyzed using descriptive statistics to summarize and present the findings. The data analysis was performed using SPSS software, which allowed the researchers to export the results to Excel for further manipulation and visualization. The research revealed that construction workers on high-rise building projects in the study area lacked adequate safety and health training on how to handle risks and hazards on site. The study also found that senior managers in construction projects did not prioritize the implementation of safety training for construction workers on high-rise buildings in the study area. Furthermore, there was no effective monitoring system to ensure that safety training was conducted on construction sites. The safety training program also did not have a regular schedule as other high-rise building project activities. The researcher stated that every real estate company should implement an effective health and safety policy that covers all aspects of their operations. The policy assign roles and responsibilities to designated personnel, provide appropriate facilities and personal protective equipment (PPE) for all workers on the job site, and incorporate health and safety duties in contracts with outside contractors. The client of the project should not only focus on completing their project on time and within budget, but also on protecting their construction workers from any hazards that may cause serious injuries or fatalities.en_US
