The nature of construction work is dangerous, risky, and needs attention in integrating well-being andrnsafety management into the entire process. In Ethiopia, the state of occupational safety and healthrn(OSH) is weak, especially in the construction industry. Compliance with OSH law is one of thernsignificant factors for OSH improvement; unfortunately, its level is low in Ethiopia. Hence, thernobjective of this research was to assess the OSH law & enforcement practice in the Ethiopianrnconstruction industry by taking a case of five Financial Institution high-rise building projects in AddisrnAbaba. Of these, four projects were undertaken by Chinese international contractors and one by thernlocal GC-1 contractor. Questionnaires were distributed to Project Managers, Site Engineers, SafetyrnEngineers, and Office Engineers from the contractor side, while Resident Engineers of the consultantrnside & Client Representatives. Interviews were also conducted with the Foreman of the contractors.rnGroup discussion was conducted with representatives of the organizations who have a direct andrnindirect stake in OSH related to the construction industry. A case study was conducted with thernmentioned five projects. The data were analyzed qualitatively and quantitatively using descriptivernstatistics. Accordingly, the result of the study revealed that all the Chinese international contractorsrnseem to have relatively better practices and awareness compared to the local contractor. However,rnthey are doing below the current safety and health (SH) practice of their country. The findings of thernstudy indicated a significant gap and discrepancies between stakeholders in the project sites inrnimplementing of OSH law and a lack of enforcement for the implementation of the law by majorrnstakeholders. The analysis of results from the interviews focus groups, and observations made on thernproject sites indicated that lack of commitment on the 'contractor's side as well as lack of follow-uprnand enforcement by the consultant, building officer, and labor inspector. Even though there are somernlimited fines enacted in the labor law, building proclamation, and building regulations on those whorndo not implement OSH properly in project sites, not implemented on the study project sites. It isrnrecommended to improve the attitude and commitment of stakeholders for SH in construction projectsrnand carry out regular undeclared visits to project sites by regulatory bodies to enforce thernimplementation of OSH. The regulatory body needs to design policies and strategies that ensure thernimplementation of OSH enforcement on construction project sites. Also, the contract agreementrnrecommended that to include a safety budget in
