SAFETY SCAFFOLDING IN THE CONSTRUCTION SITE

Statistics have shown that the construction industry is one of those sectors that have a high rate of deaths and injuries compared with to the other sectors. Scaffolding is a hazard that contributes to the large number of deaths and injuries in the construction industry. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors that influence the scaffolding related accidents at the construction site. The study was conducted using a questionnaire to obtain the maximum information and precise results. The questionnaire was prepared and distributed to listed contractors in grade G7 and G6 that are actively involved in carrying out construction work. The results of this study indicate that the higher factors influencing scaffold related accidents at construction site are caused by technical factors.
