Abstract
Construction industry is a place where safety as well as quality is much required due to its fatality rate. According to 2016, 21.1% of worker fatalities were in construction industry. To gain profits and be successful in construction, the key elements are safety and quality, quality of construction and being safe during the construction results in best quality and good reputation for the organization in the global market. Safety and quality can be integrated together to make it easy to understand and achieve greater success in construction. Constructors think by using safety tools and equipment profits rate decrease due to increase in material cost but that is not the case, by being safe, accidents rate decrease, following the decrease in compensation cost and increase in safe work environment reputation. This study presents review of safety and quality management in construction.
