Overall construction safety and terror management.

Generally new constructions go on remote areas to develop where there are no means of transport, medical facilities, first aids, security by the contractors in sufficient numbers and a huge number of helpless, low paid laborers reside there on spot of construction. So these construction sites are very much vulnerable to the terrorists‟ attacks. Recently number of terrorists‟ attacks on constructions in progress and existing both drew the researchers and designers attention. In this research 18 Indian construction organizations were surveyed and it was investigated that most of the companies were performing well in overall safety measures needing little improvement to reach to the excellence but in terrorism management before, during or after completion of the project leaving a few construction companies rest were lagging behind as revealed by considerable R2 value (0.754) with trending linear equation of which positive vertical intercept (0.6931) showing only first three companies taking care and negative slope (-0.0462) of line shows terror management failing in most of the companies surveyed. This research will not only enrich the construction project management domain but will be an alarm to governments and for safety of constructions before, during or after completion of projects also.
