الملخص:Throughout the world, construction industry is known as one of the most hazardous activities. This research is to study the project features during planning stage in order to reduce the construction hazards. This research was carried out by reviewing published articles, journals, and conference papers. Seventy questionnaires were distributed to the project participants involved in the construction industry, such as Consultants and Contractors. Forty-five people have responded to the questionnaires and data were analysed using Cronbach’s Alpha (α) and Relative Importance Index (RII). The results have shown that demolition work, restricted site area and construction at mountain, hilly area and on sea are the highest contributors to hazards. In order to reduce the construction hazards more attention should be given to these types of work by providing trainings, safety measures, and any other safety arrangements.
