| Abstract | Construction is indispensable for the growing up of any country and cit ies . The more development of society/community, the more projects are going on. Construction industry brings up the new picture of country/city; attracts investors to come in and provides more jo bs /incomes to people /community; especially for the under -developing countrie s . However , construction industry is one of the most dangerous/risky economic sectors. In Vietnam, in the year 2011, official reports recorded that 5896 accidents occurred in construction led 6154 injuries included 504 severe cases with 574 deaths. (SG newspaper dated 26- June -2012) . Note that 2011 is the year which construction was depressing nationwide due to the problems of high infla tion and high interest rate. Further a certain accident amount was not put in the above official report. Accident cas es from machines/tools always being a major percentage but deaths are mainly by falling and electric shocks . In most cases , the control of safety management at sites is not strict ly, frequently slacken while the owner and contractors only focusing on compl et ion schedule and profit s; insufficient interest to safety for people on sites. Another part is from the lack of understandings/perception on safety of the workers themselves. Everyone is aware on the important of safety, everyone is told about the preciousness of human being and many losses comes from the accidents; but casualties still be recorded. How to find out and apply an effective manner to minimize and – may be - eliminate all unsafe condition s and possible causes /risks of the would -be hazards ? That is the topic of this report . Before entering main portion of the report, it would be better to remind a famous statement: “safety of people does not depend on LUCK! It depends on themselves. ” |
