Abstract:

Effective time management is a critical factor in the successful delivery of construction projects. In the construction industry, project schedules are closely linked to workforce productivity, operational efficiency, and site safety. When projects are subjected to schedule pressures, workers may be compelled to accelerate tasks, overlook safety procedures, or operate under stressful conditions, thereby increasing the risk of accidents and injuries. This research investigates the impact of time management practices on safety performance in construction projects. It explores the role of scheduling techniques such as the Critical Path Method (CPM) and the Program Evaluation and Review Technique (PERT) in promoting safer project execution through enhanced coordination, monitoring, and resource allocation. Using secondary data from project management literature and scheduling-based Health, Safety, and Environment (HSE) planning studies, the research analyzes the relationship between project timelines and safety outcomes. The findings indicate that effective scheduling enhances safety awareness, reduces unsafe behaviors, and supports the successful implementation of HSE measures. The research concludes that incorporating safety considerations into project schedules is essential for minimizing workplace hazards and improving overall project performance.
