ABSTRACT
The Construction industry has been classified as one of the most hazardous industry when it comes to occupational accidents and fatalities. Construction accidents do not only result to demotivation of workers, but also causes delay of project delivery, affect the quality of work delivered, increases overall cost of project, as well as arise to compensation of injured workers among others. The aim of this study was to determine the degree of compliance to safety behaviour of Workers on Construction Site in Abuja, Nigeria. To achieve this, wellstructured questionnaires were administered to 137 Safety Representatives practicing with medium construction Firms in Abuja-Nigeria, where Construction works were currently ongoing. The data were collected, presented and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics. Results from the data analysis indicated that among the several reasons why casualties still happen on construction sites noncompliance or total compliance to safety regulations stands out as a major influencer. The study however recommended the following: the need for all sites to have a safety representative and their role and functions should be spelt out, site Operatives should be educated on hazard management, workers must be punished for violating safety rules and be rewarded for effective compliance and workers must ensure they are adequately equipped with personal protective equipment before being engaged to work.
