Abstract
Health and Safety (H&S) implementation significantly impacts on the rates of incidents and
fatalities on construction projects. The aim of this paper is to establish the factors that drive H&S
implementation in construction organisations.
This paper is a part of a Baccalaureus Technologaie (Quantity Surveying) study, and it presents
a literature review conducted from various sources such as conference proceedings, journals, text
books and dissertations.
The study indicates that reduced cost of accidents and penalties; increased productivity,
profitability and quality; client satisfaction; completion of projects on-time and preserving the
image and reputation of the construction organisation are factors which drive the implementation
of H&S in construction organisations...
