However, it is not possible to control all the hazardous activities at a construction site. Factors influencing accidents include human behaviour, different construction sites, complexity of work, lack of safety culture, unsafe use of machinery and equipment, and noncompliance with various sets of procedures. Studies show that accident and injuries at the worksite are often the result of workers’ behaviour and safety culture. In this paper will discuss about the importance of OSH management system in organization including element and benefit of OSH management system. It also will discuss about safety culture in organization including level of safety culture, impact of safety culture and measurement of level of safety culture at construction site.
