abstract of safety in construction works

Construction work is a dangerous land-based job. In 2014, there were 874 fatalities while working in construction in the United States.In other words, one in five worker died last year were do to construction related deaths.[1] Within the field of construction it is important to have safe construction sites.

In the United States, there were 1,225 fatal occupational injuries in the construction sector in 2001 with an incidence rate of 13.3 per 100,000 employed workers. For the same year the construction industry experienced 481,400 nonfatal injuries and illnesses at a rate of 7.9 per 100 full-time workers in the industry.Construction has about 6% of U.S. workers, but 20% of the fatalities - the largest number of fatalities reported for any industry sector. Hong Kong is also notorious for its high construction accidents rates. Although the accidents rate dropped from 350 per 1000 workers in mid-1980 to 60 per 1000 workers in 2007, it still accounted for nearly 20% of all the industrial accidents in Hong Kong. In the United Kingdom, the construction industry is responsible for 31% of fatalities at work and 10% of major workplace injuries despite accounting for a mere 5% of employees. What is more, most deaths on construction sites are actually caused by non construction activities such as electrical faults.[7] In Australia, the construction industry experienced 5.6 fatalities per 100,000 employees which is more than twice the average for all the industries in 2007–2008.

The problem is not that the hazards and risks are unknown, it is that they are very difficult to control in a constantly changing work environment.

Furthermore, the costs of construction is very high. In Ghana, for example, although there were 10% of the reported accidents claims were settled, the total amount was $150,000 which was quite expensive when we try to compare the income of the country.
