Abstract

In construction industry, workers' accident rates are relatively high compared to those of other industries. These high accidents rates are mostly due to the characteristics of construction process. In order to effectively reduce the accident rates, it is required to develop not only immediate measures but also long-term programs of instruction, training, and education. In addition, well-analyzed information on past history is required for the prevention of accidents. By examining about 800 cases of construction accidents that happened between Jan. 1992 and Dec. 2000, this paper developed an information system that provides appropriated safety information to the construction workers. This system is expected to contribute to the workers' safety in construction industry.
