REVIEW OF RISK ASSESSMENT AND OCCUPATIONAL HAZARD IN CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRIES AMID COVID -19 PANDEMIC
EDE CHRISTOPHER OKWUCHUKWU Abstract: Corona virus infection and transmission has been a global challenge more specific to construction industries with workers daily toll to the virus infection rising. This concern made many researchers proposed range of ways to re-improved risk assessment strategy in other to identify, manage, and eliminate the virus at the workplaces without job satisfaction, security, and health of the worker being compromised, however , on the contrary these objectives of the researchers have not been addressed completely as allowing workers to undertake task together at the site would raise risk factor to the virus infection and substituting specific roles performed by human labour with artificial intelligence may proportionally lead to job losses, poverty and loss of dignity of human labour .In response to the above gap, this study investigates the review of industrial risk assessment and occupational hazards for safe return of workers to the site in response to corona virus infection across construction industries. The investigation uses industrial health hazard reports and statistics of two major countries with high risk of the virus transmission to compare the occupational fatalities during the pandemic and non-pandemic periods. The findings of this work showed that the number of industrial hazards proportional to low risk assessment factor were visibly high in construction industries than other occupations.
