dc.description.abstractThe study examines Health Safety and Environment (HSE) record keeping practices on Community-Based Infrastructure Projects (CBIPs) in the Upper East Region of Ghana. Its specific objectives included: to outline the importance of HSE record keeping practices on projects, identify the best practices of HSE record keeping and lastly, identify the challenges with HSE record keeping practices on projects. Based on preliminary data analyzed, it was quite clear that majority of the target group had proper understanding of Health Safety and Environment (HSE) issues at the community level. The study was carried out in a manner that enabled the researcher to make an objective analysis by using the quantitative research strategy which involved a questionnaire survey. The target group for this research was the Planning Units, the Works Departments (which consisted of Project Managers, Planners, Engineers) at the municipal/district assemblies. A total of seventy (70) questionnaires were administered and fifty-eight (58) responses were recovered representing a higher returned percentage of 82.86%. The analysis of the data gathered was done using Relative Importance Index. The research identified lack of rules and criteria for fitting the organization’s arrangement of standard procedures and methodology to fulfill health safety and environment explicit needs of the undertaking as a challenge impeding health safety and environment record keeping practices on projects at the community level. In addition, it identified some of the best practices of keeping health safety and environment records on projects to include financial data repositories containing information such as labour hours, incurred costs, budgets, and any project cost overruns. The research also underscored the significance of health safety and environment record keeping practices on projects as it helps identify or confirm if a problem exists, allow for early corrective action. As part of the recommendations, it was recommended that there should be standardized HSE templates specifically for record keeping on projects and these made available and mandatory for every project at initiation or inception and incorporated into the project documentation.  en_US
