title = "Correlation between accident rates and site safety levels in building construction projects",
abstract = "This paper measures the site safety level of building construction projects in the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and correlates them to the accident rates of these projects. A total of forty-five building construction projects were surveyed. They are classified as large, medium, and small according to the monetary value of each project This was done to know whether or not the safety level on a construction site was a function of the project's size. It was shown that there is a relationship between them and as the project size increases, the safety level increases too. Moreover, it was found that as the site safety level increases in the project, the accident rate decreases. A correlation between the middle management practices and the accident rates of the projects was also performed. It was concluded that middle management has a major effect on construction safety.",
