Construction delays are widely acknowledged within the industry, with a McKinsey Global Institute report revealing that 77% of global megaprojects are significantly behind schedule. This issue is particularly pronounced in Saudi Arabia, where daily construction delays can amount to $45,000. Accidents are a major contributor to these delays, impacting construction schedules through various means:

1. Safety Investigations: Following accidents, construction sites often undergo safety investigations, leading to potential work stoppages and schedule disruptions.
2. Equipment and Material Damage: Accidents can harm equipment and materials, necessitating repairs or replacements, further delaying construction.
3. Worker Injuries: Injuries to workers can result in absences or reduced productivity, prompting the need for temporary replacements and slowing down construction.
4. Heightened Safety Measures: Accident aftermath may require additional safety precautions, such as stricter protocols or enhanced training, contributing to slower progress.
5. Legal Challenges: Accidents can trigger legal issues like lawsuits or compensation claims, diverting resources and causing construction delays.

Overall, accidents significantly impact construction schedules, increasing costs and reducing productivity. Hence, prioritizing safety measures is crucial for preventing accidents.
