This study aimed to determine the risk management practices of project engineers in building construction and its implication to safety construction. The descriptive method was used with questionnaire as the main tool in gathering data employed statistical tools such as weighted mean and t-test to analyze and interpret the data.
Results of the study revealed that 1) the project engineers' weighted mean scores are greatest in the following categories: "Fire Protection," "Lighting of Working Areas," "Protection from Falling Materials," "Personal Protective Equipment," and "Scaffoldings." The weighted mean of construction workers is greatest for “protruding nails and loose materials”, “demolition”, “personal protective equipment”, “alternative methods and materials”, and “electrical”. 2) Project engineers and construction workers had similar assessments of risk management practices; it has no significant differences. 3) Based on the average of how serious the problems with building construction management were, project engineers and construction workers both given a descriptive grade of "Serious." For project engineers, the sections with the highest weighted means are "Scope and design changes," "Unavailability of Fund," and "Construction Delays," whereas for construction workers, the sections with the highest weighted means are "Unavailability of Funding," "Inadequate Management Skills (Coordination")," and "Poor Safety Practices." 4) According to the data, there were considerable differences between the two sets of respondents' assessments of the issues experienced with building construction management.
To prevent accidents and damages the researcher suggests that the project engineer follow the standards based on the Department of Labor and Employment (2005) with regard to 1) Fire Protection, 2) Lighting of Working Areas, 3) Protection from Falling Materials, 4) Personal Protective Equipment, and 5) Scaffoldings. Whereas for construction workers the researcher suggest that they also abide the rules with regard to 1) protruding nails and loose materials, 2) Demolition, 3) personal protective equipment, 4) alternative methods and materials, and 5) Electrical.
