However, perennially vacant safety positions with construction industry, undue delay and difficulty in acquisition of replacements, frequent job change by safety professionals on account of harsh job conditions and/or poor payouts, over working and multitasking by safety staffs suggests a potential shortage of dedicated competent safety personnel in India. In fact, supply of the competent safety professionals is limited, and every employer is scratching from the same vessel. Such a situation further motivates safety professionals for frequent job changes. As a result, continuity of safety initiatives at project disrupted. On other side, safety professionals fail to acquire holistic experience of safety management in the entire life cycle of the project.
