Abstract
Construction safety is a challenging issue in construction industry all around the world. For the construction works, regular monitoring and supervision are the important parameters. After the massive Gorkha Earthquake of April 25th, 2015 (Nepal), large number of schools have been affected hence to enhance repair, maintenance, rehabilitation and improve of this situation a large number of retrofitting projects have been added to the list of construction projects of Nepal especially school buildings .With the increase in construction projects, a large number of accidents have also been increased tremendously. Safety legislation for construction industry in developing countries is not sufficient in order to make construction a safe industry as well as prevailing rules and regulations were not properly implemented at construction sites because of poor civic awareness, knowledge regarding safety, training, and workshop. It was found that training, education and experience of workers had a slightly minor role in decreasing the possibility of occurrence of accidents at site. Management shall also focus on accident record keeping and safety meeting with safety audit as no such records was maintained at the sites visited.
