Sensitivity analysis of safety performance of Indian construction organizations / S.V.S. Raja Prasad

Rapid growth of construction activity coupled with utilization of versatile construction equipment has resulted in complex occupational health and safety issues in Indian construction sector. The construction scenario in India is more complicated and governs to exposure to various hazards compared t...

Raja Prasad Raja Prasad, S.V.S. Systems of building construction. Industrialized building Architectural engineering. Structural engineering of buildings Protection of buildings.

Data envelopment analysis (DEA), being a robust tool, has been employed to evaluate the performance of industries.

The mean efficiency scores of basic and special case are 0.63, 0.75 and 0.77, 0.83 respectively. It is observed that all the efficient organizations are from infrastructure segment only. It has been observed that safety performance of construction organizations under real estate sector is consistently low as compared to infrastructure sector.
