Construction sites are known to be one of the most dangerous areas for human health and safety. In developing countries, enforcement of safety rules are often negligible to minimize occupational injuries and illnesses. The success of any construction project is highly depending on health and safety management and its objective is to obtain a clear and successful work on the construction sites without fatalities or injures among the workers and other administrators on the construction site. The information in this work is gathered by on ground workers and their status in terms of getting Personal Protective Equipment or PPE’s. A survey was done at the construction site and total of 76 workers were targeted, out of which 68 responded. The results were presented in figures, text file and tables using Mean Score. The data presented in this study enables construction managers to standardize project risks and safety management. The results show the lack of proper training considering the use of PPE and significance of safety at construction site. Carelessness is seen in many places regarding the use of PPE. A lose handling is also seen where no check-ups are done for the use of PPE and following of the guidelines for safety are not checked on daily basis. Lacks of equipment’s are one of the major causes identified in the lacking of the safety at construction site.
