Therefore, this study aims to investigate the implementation of safety and health practices by building contractors in Johor, Malaysia. This study employs a survey method distributing survey instruments to G6 and G7 contractors in Johor.

Through this survey, the level of implementation of safety and health management practices among contractors was obtained. This study has also helped provide a better understanding
