Construction is one of the most challenging occupations in the world, incurring  more occupational fatalities than any other sector. The fatal occupational injury rate  among construction workers is nearly three times that for all workers. Falls are one of  the most common causes of fatal and non-fatal injuries among construction  workers. Proper safety equipment such as harnesses and guardrails and procedures  such as securing ladders and inspecting scaffolding can curtail the risk of occupational  injuries in the construction industry.

Occupational safety and health (OSH) can be important for moral, legal, and  financial reasons. All organizations have a duty of care to ensure that employees and  any other person who may be affected by the companies undertaking remain safe at all  times. Moral obligations would involve the protection of employee’s lives and health.  Legal reasons for OSH practices relate to the preventative, punitive and compensatory  effects of laws that protect worker’s safety and health. OSH can also reduce employee  injury and illness related costs, including medical care, sick leave and disability benefit  costs.

Occupational health and safety management system operates on the basis of policy,  planning, implementation and operation, checking and corrective action, management  review, and continual improvement.
