Abstract Unsafe working environments slow down working speed in that it takes a lot of time to respond in case of an accident, greatly reducing the productivity of construction work. Therefore, proper safety management that does not impede the productivity of construction works is a very important factor for successful construction project. However especially in mega project, the mutual effects of safety management and productivity are complex. Therefore, this study establishes a causal model between safety management and productivity influencing factors based on effectiveness metrics, and analyzes the effect of increased site congestion due to excessive personnel input, irregular safety measures and inefficient change of work schedules. The result of this study, is expected to contribute to enhancing the competitiveness of the construction industry as the basis for establishing a safety management plan that can secure appropriate productivity.
