    Assessement of challanges against Business Continunity Planning In construction Micro, Small and Medium Enterprises Compitencies
    (School of Environmental Technology International Conference (SETIC 2024), 2024-11-29) Ohiwere, E. & Alumbugu, Polycarp OLaku
    The aim of this study is to assess the challenges militating against business continuity planning (BCP) in construction micro, small and medium enterprises (CMSMEs) in Abuja, Nigerla, with a view to improve the competence of BCP MSMEs. This study relied on a quantitative approach to obtain the data needed to answer the research objectives, This was done through the administration of questionnaires in a survey of selected members of the population. The target population for this research was the owners/management staff of the CMSME organizations within the study area. They constitute the major stakeholders of SMEs within the construction industry who make the decision regarding the day to day running of the CMSMEs that the study is Interested in. Therefore, the sample size for the study was 223. A simple purposive sampling procedure were used to select the participants involved in construction work in the study area. Descriptive statistics such as Mean Score and standard deviation was used to assess the challenges militating against business continuity planning (BCP) in construction micro, small and medium enterprises. The findings revealed that the most important challenges militating against business continuity planning (BCP) in construction micro, small, and medium enterprises (CMSMEs) in Abuja is little government support (MIS = 4,27), On average, all 32 challenges militating against business continuity planning (BCP) in construction micro, small, and medium enterprises (CMSMEs) in Abuja, Nigeria, were important (MIS = 4.16). To enhance the competencies of construction Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) in Abuja for effective business continuity planning (BCP), the following recommendations are proposed: Government agencies, construction associations, and educational institutions should organize targeted training programs to educate MSMEs on the importance of BCP.

    The impact of confined construction sites condition on project team health and safety
    (School of Environmental Technology International Conference (SETIC 2024), 2024-11-29) Micheal, U.O. Tsado, A, J, & Alumbugu Polycarpn Olaku
    This study investigates the impact of confined construction sites on project team health and safety in Port Harcourt, Rivers State, Nigeria. The research addresses the growing safety challenges faced by construction teams working in confined sites Through a quantitative research approach, the study examined multiple confined construction sites to assess how spatial constraints affect workplace safety and identify the most significant risk factors. The methodology employed purposive • sampling to select fifteen confined construction sites in Port Harcourt, Data collection was conducted through structured questionnaires distributed to construction professionals, including project managers, structural engineers, safety officers, and site supervisors. Statistical analysis, including descriptive statistics and regression analysis, was used to examine the relationships between confined site conditions and safety outcomes. The findings revealed that limited access routes, restricted movement space, and poor ventilation are the most significant challenges that influence safety outcomes in confined construction sites. Space limitation emerged as the strongest predictor of safety incidents, followed by ventilation issues and restricted access routes. The study also found that material storage constraints and lighting conditions, while important, had a relatively lesser impact on safety outcomes. The research demonstrated a strong relationship between confined site conditions and the frequency of safety incidents, with site conditions explaining a substantial portion of the variation in accident occurrence. The findings highlight the need for specialized safety protocols and management strategies for confined construction sites, particularly in rapidly urbanizing areas. The study's results can inform the development of more effective safety policies and practices that suits confined construction environments. This will ultimately contribute to improved workplace safety in urban construction projects.
