The construction industry plays a pivotal role in economic development, but it is also recognized as one of the most hazardous sectors globally, characterized by a high incidence of fatalities, injuries, and health-related issues among workers. Health and safety (H&S) have consistently been a critical focus in this industry, with significant efforts directed toward minimizing risks and improving overall project performance. However, despite these efforts, many construction sites continue to report alarming statistics in terms of workforce injuries and health problems, signaling that challenges in ensuring worker safety persist. Several studies have shown that construction workers are particularly vulnerable due to the nature of their work, which often involves dangerous tasks, exposure to hazardous materials, and demanding physical labor. This abstract seeks to explore the relationship between health and safety practices in the construction industry and overall project outcomes, emphasizing the need for improved safety management systems, better regulatory enforcement, and a cultural shift toward prioritizing worker well-being. Understanding the key factors contributing to high accident rates is crucial to developing strategies that can mitigate risks, improve safety compliance, and ultimately enhance the productivity and welfare of workers in the construction industry
