construction site safety
Construction is the most dangerous land-based work sector in Europe, after the fishing industry. In the European Union, the fatal accident rate is nearly 13 workers per 100,000 as against 5 per 100,000 for the all sector average.
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.〔BLS. 2002 Census of fatal occupational injuries. Fatal injuries. Washington, DC: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Safety and Health Statistics Program ()〕 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.〔BLS. Survey of occupational injuries and illnesses. Washington, D.C.: U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, Safety and Health Statistics Program. 2002. Nonfatal (OSHA recordable) injuries and illnesses. Industry incidence rates and counts. ()〕 Construction has about 6% of U.S. workers, but 20% of the fatalities - the largest number of fatalities reported for any industry sector.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=NIOSH Construction )〕 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Workers’ Compensation for Non-fatal Construction Accidents: Review of Hong Kong Court Cases, by Rita Yi Man Li and Sun Wah Poon )〕 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. 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.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Construction Safety, by Rita Yi Man Li and Sun Wah Poon )〕
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.〔
