Prestressed bridge construction is latest technique of bridge construction in Nepal comparison to other techniques. Since these techniques use more mechanical tools and equipment than others; hazards are more. This research assessed the safety in prestressed bridge construction involving stakeholder's perception. The study area is Parasi district of Lumbini province. Seven prestressed bridge sites were selected for the study which included constructed and also the under-construction sites. Primary data was collected by Key informant interview (KII) Survey and field visit whereas secondary data was collected from respective office of client, contractor's office, and Department of Roads (DOR).
