Promoting Health and Safety Practices in Fast- Track Construction
Projects: The Case of Jordan
By Zayed Zeadat
Abstract- In many industries, safety is paramount, and the fast-track construction industry is no exception.
Globally, more than 60 000 fatalities are reported each year due to inadequate and incompetent Fast-
track construction Site Safety Management (CSSM). In Jordan, construction workers' fatalities and injuries
increase year after year, particularly in fast-track construction projects. Implementing fast-track
construction site safety management is a significant problem in every project. Therefore, it is critical to
investigate the most convenient practices to ensure fast-track construction project safety to reduce death
and injury rates. Innovative CSSM is key to solving the current safety challenges in the fast-track
Jordanian fast-track construction industry.
This research aims to assist Jordanian construction consultants and contractors
in determining the best policy for promoting health and safety in fast-track construction projects. Data was
collected using a questionnaire distributed to consultants and contractors; the data was then analyzed
using the Relative Importance Index (RRI). The findings and discussions reveal two essential policies to
facilitate CSSM in Jordan's fast-track construction projects.
