Safety Measures And Satisfaction In Work Environment: Chennai Metro Project Construction Workers’ Perception

Abstract

This study investigates the awareness and satisfaction levels of construction workers regarding safety and welfare measures in Chennai Projects, particularly in projects undertaken by the Chennai Metro. The research explores the alignment between safety policies and their implementation at worksites, analyzing factors such as demographic influences and contractor practices. Findings reveal that while satisfaction levels appear higher than awareness, the overall awareness of safety protocols and provisions remains inadequate, highlighting the need for targeted educational interventions. The study emphasizes the moral and legal responsibilities of employers to ensure safe work environments and explores implications for future safety program improvements.
