Work accidents are prone to occur in construction projects that are not entirely

caused by the workers themselves, but also project conditions and management

commitments. The works are still considered a heavy, rough job and male

workers dominated. The studies are carried out before and during the pandemic

time in North Sumatra. These studies aim (1) to evaluate the application of OHS

procedures, (2) to what extent the companies implement protocols to prevent

the spread of COVID-19 in the projects, (3) the health facilities in the construction

project. The studies indicated that the level of compliance of contractor in

implementing OHS in construction projects is still low. During the pandemic, the

study showed that three constructions projects had implemented the protocol

by project’s various parties. This study also found that there were differences in

the implementation of health protocols in large-scale projects with central

government funding and small-scale projects with community funding sources.
