Characteristics of Hazardous Events an a Polish Construction Company Using Time Series

Abstract

The construction industry is highly dangerous worldwide. Despite preventive measures, accidents and hazardous events leading to injuries or fatalities still occur. Researchers emphasize the significance of studying occupational accidents and near misses, considering the latter as accident precursors. There are numerous studies supporting the thesis that a significant proportion of accidents in the construction industry could be prevented with improved safety management based on information derived from near-misses recorded in company archives.
