**6. Conclusions**

The construction industry is universally ranked as the most hazardous sector. However, many nations have put immense efforts to improve health and safety performance as well as bring about the reduction in injuries' occurrence. Nevertheless, the construction industry remains to lag behind other sectors with a high record of accidents. The construction industry must be stimulated to standardize its safety and health practices and performances. Better opportunities must be engaged to learn from failures with the application of preventive measures to curb accident occurrence. World has become a global village, through crossing borders-arrangements, technology, and corporation. Construction worker health and safety have become a concern that is shared universally. Since construction health and safety issues are very alike from nation to nation, they can therefore be addressed on a global scale. Solutions to health and safety issues in one nation can readily be implemented in other nations to produce further improvements. Improving occupational health and safety will contribute to the accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) on decent work and improved economic growth of the Nigerian construction industry's global cooperation. The study recommends that government at all levels should participate in the stringent legal enforcement of occupational health and safety legislation. Also, the economic approach to OHS must be viewed from a wider perspective, not only focusing on just economic benefits and costs. It is essential to outline the potential worth of OHS as seen from a business viewpoint. Achieving greater coherence in OHS could come through well-defined regional and country initiatives.
