What Is Construction Safety?
Construction safety is the practice of protecting workers and the public from the hazards of construction work, through management systems, risk assessment, competent people and regular audit.
Construction has one of the highest injury rates of any industry. Falls from height, excavation and scaffold collapse, electrical contact and plant movement cause serious harm every day. A strong construction safety management system is how responsible employers prevent it.
Consultivo works as an independent construction safety consultant in India and abroad. We help you identify, control and reduce loss exposure on site, backed by our wider safety audit practice.

Questions
Construction Safety FAQs
What is construction safety?
Construction safety is the practice of protecting workers and the public from construction hazards through management systems, risk assessment, competent people and regular audit. It covers everything from work at height to electrical and fire safety on site.
What does a construction safety consultant do?
A construction safety consultant helps you assess site risk, build a safety management system, meet legal duties, train your teams and audit performance. Consultivo provides all of this as an independent third party.
What are the main construction safety hazards?
The most serious are falls from height, excavation and scaffold collapse, electrical contact, plant and vehicle movement, falling materials and manual handling injuries.
What codes and standards apply to construction safety in India?
The OSH Code, 2020, which consolidates the BOCW Act, 1996, sets the statutory duties, supported by BIS Indian Standards and the ILO Code of Practice on Safety and Health in Construction.
Is construction safety mandatory in India?
Yes. Construction safety duties are set out in the OSH Code, 2020, which came into force in November 2025 and consolidates the BOCW Act, 1996, alongside state rules. Independent audits are the reliable way to show you are meeting them.
What is the difference between construction safety consulting and a construction safety audit?
An audit measures and scores how safe a site is against standards. Consulting then helps you close the gaps the audit finds, by building systems, procedures and competence. Most organisations use both.
