Productivity and Safety Analysis for a Storm Water System Improvement Project

Abstract

Productivity and safety are key aspects of any company. A decrease in productivity will reduce or eliminate the profit of a project. An increase in productivity will reduce costs. Safety issues in projects will affect productivity directly. This means that an increase in safety will increase productivity and a decrease in safety will decrease productivity respectively. For this study a local construction project was selected and evaluated in those two terms. This research analyzed various studies performed at the site of the project and the design itself. All gathered data, findings and recommendations were given in a final inform to the selected company for their evaluation and future implementation. This study demonstrate the importance of incorporating elaborate safety plans in the designs prior to construction. Key Terms - OSHA, Productivity, PROSHA, Safety.
