Abstract

Construction industry plays an important role in developing countries’ economic development. It is often viewed as one of the major economic engines in economic growth. A lot of these countries, however, are efficient-driven which often undermine the safety importance on site. This chapter firstly reviews the economic role of construction industry in developing countries, followed by an analysis on safety regulations and related authorities in China, Nigeria, Kuwait and Ghana. It is found that 1) these countries have implemented some safety rules and regulations, 2) many of them are poorly design and 3) the enforcement is quite loose.
