Safety is an important aspect in relation to construction works. Construction work involves risk of fatal injuries or even death. Safety is a major concern and can be ensured with proper equipments, safety precautions and education about risks involved. Even the country's government can play significant role by issuing strict rules and regulations to be followed at construction sites. In my view, workers must also be provided with minimum life cover according to their human value. Thus, the research work has been done to ensure the safety of masons, laborers, project managers and everybody related to construction work.
Safety can also be defined as the control of known hazards to achieve an acceptable level of risk. This can take the form of being protected from the event or exposure to something that causes health or economical losses or damages. It can include protection of people or of their possessions.
Safety is the condition of a "steady state" in an organization or place, doing what it is supposed to do. "What it is supposed to do" is defined in terms of public codes and norms, associated architectural and engineering designs, corporate insight and mission statements, and operational scheme and personnel policies. For any organization, place, or function, large or small, safety is a normative concept. It collates with situation-specific definitions of what is expected and acceptable.     The scores obtained for each building for different safety divisions or block was averaged to a single score by using the above equation.

x= (∑x) ÷nz
The above equation is applied to find out the average score procured by dividing the sum of score of all the divisions or head by the number of divisions.   Res. 4(10), 425-

Discussion:-
As per the above table, the highest average safety score of large building is 74.84, which has a good rating and the lowest is 59.88, which has poor rating. The highest score of most critical parameter of large building is 92.85, which has safe rating and the lowest is 50.00, which has un-safe rating. The highest score of critical parameters of large buildings is 82.85, which has safe rating and the lowest is 62.85, which has un-safe rating. The highest score of other parameters of large buildings is 78.64, which has good rating and the lowest is 53.18, which has poor rating.
The highest average safety score of medium building is 66.60, which has a fair rating and the lowest is 64.48, which has fair rating. The highest score of most critical parameter of medium building is 85.71, which has un-safe rating and the lowest is 71.42, which has un-safe rating. The highest score of critical parameters of medium buildings is 77.14, which has un-safe rating and the lowest is 57.14, which has un-safe rating. The highest score of other parameters of medium buildings is 65.28, which has fair rating and the lowest is 63.69, which has fair rating.
The highest average safety score of small building is 70.06, which has a fair rating and the lowest is 62.17, which has fair rating. The highest score of most critical parameter of small building is 85.71, which has un-safe rating and the lowest is 78.57, which has un-safe rating. The highest score of critical parameters of small buildings is 71.42, which has un-safe rating and the lowest is 65.71, which has un-safe rating. The highest score of other parameters of small buildings is 65.14, which has fair rating and the lowest is 59.55, which has poor rating.
