  ABSTRACT: Background: Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) Practices have been set up to maintain workers’ overall well-being during construction projects in Uganda. Purpose: This paper establishes the impact of undertaking OHS practices on the overall project performance. Issues: It was noted that the non-adherence to the OHS Practices on construction projects in Uganda was the major cause of various occupational accidents, diseases, and injuries that affected workers and neighboring communities. Methodology: A mixed methods study, containing interviews, questionnaires, and a review of documents was undertaken to examine the relationship between OHS Practices and the overall project’s performance. Findings: The analysis revealed that it was essential to enforce Occupational Health and Safety Practices in order to attain the overall project performance. Implications: This study will increase awareness of the need to promote OHS Practices with the aim of achieving overall project performance.
