Poor safety performance is a serious problem in the construction industry. Safety program implementation has always been one of the most successful actions to reduce construction accidents. This research aims to identify barriers to the implementation of safety programs in the construction industry.

Further barriers were identified from semi-structured interviews conducted with experts in the construction industry in Iraq. The exploratory factor analysis (EFA) technique was used to evaluate data collected from the survey, reduce the number of factors and establish relationships between variables.
