“…Management of OHS in the construction sector shares similar characteristics across developing countries. 9 These include construction methods, technology level, cultural environment, and regulations. 10 All make management of OHS in construction projects in developing countries challenging.…”

In Tanzania, poor enforcement of occupational health and safety (OHS) regulations has been associated with weak regulatory systems as well as lack of proper procedures on construction sites. However, the role of health and safety actors including organisational structures as enabling or disabling factors are under researched. This study employed qualitative research approach to discern the role of health and safety actors together with reasons for poor OHS enforcement on construction sites. Semi-structured interviews collected data from several health and safety actors within the sector. The salient findings from the study indicate that while legislation for enforcement of OHS exists, there is demonstrated lack of coordination including focus on formality, insufficient resources and overlapping roles regarding management of OHS. Power relations exercised by elected officials over regulators exacerbate these to influence public policy and purposeful violation of rules as a form of informal welfare policy for largely informal workers. This study recommends a need for promotion of safety leadership and behavioral change together with adequate supply of health and safety resources to the whole organisational system. Planning, tendering, designing and implementation stages of construction projects should embrace safety culture.

Floating columns, columns which rests on beams and does not have any foundation, are common in many of the multi storey buildings which are proposed to accommodate parking at ground floor or open halls. An attempt is made here to analyse the seismic performance of open ground storey buildings with floating columns and to suggest the best retrofitting method to strengthen the building. G+15 building models are considered for the study. Effect of position of floating column is also studied. 5 methods of retrofitting are compared to find out the best one among them. Analysis is done by using ETABS-2015 software. The results show that, lower the position of floating column, the worse is the response of building. From the study it has been found that infill walls can be used as the most effective retrofitting method to strengthen the floating column buildings.
