Abstract

Safety is a major issue in the construction industry for both unskilled and skilled workers. Accidents occur
frequently every year in the construction industry due to lack of personal protective equipment (PPE) and
poor wearing of the provided PPE. The objective of this paper is to identify the key factors related to
"Prevention of Safety Gear by Construction Workers" in construction projects. Questionnaire survey method
was used for the primary data collection process. As part of the study, 277 samples were collected from
respondents across various construction sites. SPSS software was used for descriptive statistics, t-tests, and
one-way analysis of variance. The results showed that "negligence regarding PPE, lack of interest in wearing
PPE, wrong size of PPE, workers often avoid PPE during rainy season, and ignorance regarding PPE" were
the most important factors in this study.
