Abstract With the increasing frequency and severity of accidents in the construction industry, the importance of effective safety management is being emphasized more than ever. A major issue in the current safety management practice of construction industry is the excessive documentation required at construction sites. This excessive documentation leads safety managers to neglect their primary duties of overseeing on-site safety. Previous studies have not adequately addressed the real reasons behind safety practitioners’ neglect of their duties, nor have they provided tangible solutions. To address these gaps, this study focuses on problems of safety management documentation practices at construction sites, identify the main causes of inefficiency. Field surveys targeting safety practitioners were conducted to gather opinions on the redundancy, necessity, and costs associated with the current documentation practice. Based on these insights, the study diagnosed the problems of the existing practice and identified documents in need of improvement. This study provides a detailed diagnosis of the current safety management documentation practices by reflecting the opinions of construction site documentation personnel.
