The study examines how Lean concepts might improve safety culture in the Indian construction industry, emphasising high-rise building projects. While Lean concepts have been explored in construction safety worldwide, there has been little empirical research in India. This study evaluates the integration of various Lean tools and practices and their impact on enhanced safety results. Method: Data on the use of Lean techniques in Indian construction projects was collected through a detailed survey. The influence of Lean principles on safety was assessed using both theoretical analysis and empirical findings. The research concentrated on strategies including collaborative planning, safety policy implementation, and worker participation in accident prevention. Findings: The study found that collaborative planning, strong safety policies, and worker participation are essential for increasing safety in high-rise construction. However, inadequacies in the learning environment were discovered, highlighting the need for continuous learning and improvement. Lean tools demonstrated their adaptability to high-rise construction issues, which helped to improve safety outcomes. Novelty: This study adds to the limited research on Lean construction in India, specifically for high-rise buildings. It offers unique insights into how Lean methods might overcome specific hurdles in the Indian construction sector, emphasizing the need for more research into their long-term efficacy in enhancing safety culture. 02 28 2025 02 28 2025 32 42 CC-BY-NC-ND 4.0 10.35940/BEIESP.CrossMarkPolicy www.ijitee.org true International Journal of Innovative Technology and Exploring Engineering (IJITEE) Blue Eyes Intelligence Engineering and Sciences Publication (BEIESP) Based on my understanding, this article has no conflicts of interest.
