An Audit Framework for Civil Construction Safety Management and Supervision

The construction industry has experienced substantial growth, reflected in its impact on the financial market due to projects with significant territorial reach, widely distributed, high budgets, and technical complexity. However, this growth also raised risks due to the complex nature of construction sites, making them prone to accidents, among which falls are a significant concern. Beyond human costs, accidents incur various tangible consequences, including compensation expenses, legal liabilities, schedule delays, unforeseen costs, and intangible impacts on organizational reputation and human resource recruitment. This paper proposes an auditing framework to address these challenges and to enhance safety management and supervision in construction. This framework collects relevant data on the construction environment and worker conditions, streamlining the identification of fall risks and accident locations.
