Abstract: This study aims to evaluate the practices of federal housing corporation contractors in implementing health and safety management tools and techniques in its construction work places. The research focuses on three specific objectives which includes assessing current health and safety management practices, identifying challenges in effective implementation and examining the awareness levels of contractors and workers regarding these tools. A descriptive research design was employed, utilizing survey questionnaires, observational research, and document analysis to collect data from contractors, engineers, workers, and managers. Survey questionnaires provided insights into experiences, attitudes, and behaviors, while observational research captured real-time practices on construction sites. Document analysis of safety manuals and policy documents revealed organizational trends and regulatory compliance. The findings indicate that while tools such as risk assessments, safety training programs and personal protective equipment and safety audits are in place, significant challenges hinder their effective implementation. Financial constraints, organizational barriers, and varying levels of awareness among workers and contractors were identified as key obstacles. The study underscores the importance of continuous training, regular safety audits, and stricter enforcement of safety protocols to reduce workplace accidents. Addressing these challenges is crucial for improving long-term safety outcomes in the construction industry. This research highlights the critical role of robust health and safety management systems in safeguarding worker well-being and calls for targeted interventions to enhance compliance and awareness
