Building technology trades usually have potential hazards and risks likely to cause accidents on building sites. This study focused on building technology trades, risk assessment and control in building construction project for skill development. Exploratory study was adopted. The population for the study was 25 which comprised of 15 building personnel, five construction safety professionals and five academics in seven building trades. Data was collected using cataloged questionnaire and brainstorming sessions with expert panel. Finding revealed that principal contractors, contractors and sub-contractors, very rarely or never considered providing information on common construction hazards and control measures, providing workers with PPE at site.
