Redefining Safety Attributes: Essential Competencies for Project Managers in Green Construction

Abstract

Effectively managing safety considerations can significantly mitigate hazards and facilitate timely project completion within budgetary constraints. This study aims to investigate the safety attributes related to project manager competencies in green construction. Using a comprehensive study of the relevant literature, the authors identified the safety competency attributes that should be considered while practicing green construction. A table matrix was employed to precisely delineate the attributes of the suit for the project manager based on the relevant keyword search. The discussion reveals that the safety attributes were based on the competences of three project managers: safety knowledge, safety skills, and safety attitudes. The findings of this study may enhance safety performance in green construction. The project manager comprehends the roles related to safety to correspond with the sustainability objectives of green construction. It recommends appropriate management of safety issues that adhere with economic and environmental considerations while not ignoring the social aspect of green construction methods.
