Abstract
Construction workplace safety has always been a main concern within the construction industry. Statistics on accidents and injuries generally place the construction sector as one of most hazardous sectors, principally in developing countries. Although a lot of improvement in construction workplace safety has been accomplished, the construction industry still lags behind the majority of other industries with regard to safety. Safety rules in developing countries often do not exist and the regulatory authority is generally not strong in implementing such rules efficiently. Additionally, work hazards on construction sites are either perceived to be less dangerous than what they in reality are, or are not perceived at all.
