Execution involves establishing direction, communicating vision, motivating and inspiring people to produce desired results. On a project, particularly a larger project, the project manager is generally expected to be the project's leader. Leadership is not, however, limited to the project manager, it may be derponstrated by many different individuals at many different times during the project. Leadership must be demonstrated at all levels of the project (project leadership, technical leadership, team leadership). Typical functions performed by the executives are :
- Project Organisation,
- Resources Mobilization,
- Scope Quality Assurance Organisation,
- Site Mobilization,
- Team Development,
- Safety Management, and
- Information Distributions.
Construction involves risky operations in dangerous areas, such as working at heights, working on slippery surfaces and working under material handling equipment. Constantly changing sites, nature of work, construction methodology and technology add new dimension to the safety problems. Safety is a part of life and possibly of death for those working at construction sites. The unsafe working leads to accidents. The worst sufferer due to accident is the worker. These accidental unintentional and unsafe acts result in loss of life, limb, time and money. A worker meeting an accident suffers from financial, physical, mental and bread-earning time loss. The accidents add to the avoidable death toll and crippled human population. No amount of money can compensate for the lost life, lost limb or lost time of the family bread earner. These permanent damages to the life. of a worker can be avoided. An effective accident prevention programme is the best guarantee against the accidents. According to the Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and Conditions of Service) Act, 1996 and Central Rules, 1998; the employer has the sole responsibility for ensuring safety at construction site. Remember workers safety comes first always and every time.
