Globally construction industry is growing with fast-track projects, infrastructure and real estate. The construction industry has the largest no of injuries as compared to other industries Thus, reducing accidents and determining construction risks are extremely important. Metro construction is one of infra structure project of construction industries. Metro construction is of two types underground metro site and Elevated metro site. In underground metro, work performed below ground level where as in elevated metro work performed above ground level. Underground metro preferred where density of people and traffic congestion is high. Cost of underground metro is far greater than elevated metro. These days metro construction demand has been increased in cites due to increase of population & traffic congestion in cities. Elevated metro construction is challenging work due to work in middle of traffic, so high risk factor exists. Safety plays major role in the elevated metro construction work, various steps and documentation will be done for maintaining the safety in the elevated metro construction work to avoid the accident. Accidents degrade the market value of the company image, so safety plays an important role in the elevated metro construction project. One of the essential steps for elevated metro construction safety management is Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment, since the most unmanageable risks are from unidentified hazard. This study aims to prepare HIRA for most accident-prone activities in elevated metro construction work and provide it's control measures. To achieve this, aim several visits were done for identification of hazards and risks involved in it for major activities carried out at elevated metro station construction work at MML project, Mumbai. The outcome of the study of this study will help the organization in improving safety by adding those control measures in safety plans and will help in reducing accident rates Also, to increase knowledge of partners in elevated metro rail projects through training and awareness programs.
