Preventing catastrophic events in construction [electronic resource] - [S.l.] HSE 2011 - HSE Research Report RR834 .
The construction industry recognises the hazardous nature of its activities, which manifests itself in the high toll of accidents its workers suffer compared with other industries. This project looks at the risks of "catastrophic events" in the UK construction industry: the types of catastrophic event which have occurred or which might occur during construction, the reasons for occurrence when there have been (or could have been) catastrophic events during construction, including an examination of the underlying factors, the controls which should contribute to an avoidance of a catastrophic event, where the UK construction industry could improve.
