Abstract

A safety management system (SMS) is described as a set of rules and procedures that businesses use to limit the number of accidents and illnesses that occur on the job. One of the most significant concerns we should make before beginning any building project is the safety of the workers and the general public. It is especially vital in the construction business to maintain health and safety standards since the profession is prone to hazardous situations and may be harmful at times. The SMS was used in the construction sector to decrease the danger of deaths and injuries, as well as to prevent material waste. This study was done to better understand the causes of accidents, the elements that influence safety, and the preventative measures, as well as to enhance the application of SMS on construction sites. The SMS addresses specific causes of accidents, it also addresses the most important concerns regarding accidents. Instead, it ensures that the effort is multifaceted, focused on issues rather than deadlines, and that it continues throughout the project's life cycle, independent of changes in people.
