Assessing construction risk factors and ensuring safety

Construction is one of the most dangerous industries, which in physical terms is associated with the highest load. Trauma and accident statistics are high. Due to the multidisciplinary nature of employees in the construction sector, considering the impact of harmful and dangerous factors and difficulties of operating construction and transport equipment, construction is one of the most dangerous areas. During the 2020-2021 pandemic, various problems arose in the construction sector. The problem of the construction industry, delays caused by pandemics, the main causes of safety breaches, hazard detection, risk management outcomes are discussed in the article and recommendations are given to improve them. Research methods: Analysis of the theoretical and practical experience of existing means of occupational safety, working on statistical data on traumas and accidents, develop methods for identifying hazards, and assessing risks based on specific examples. Based on theoretical studies and analysis of existing conditions, measures have been developed to improve occupational safety. The importance of the mechanism for predicting unforeseen delays in the construction sector, the causeand-effect relationship between high statistics of injuries and accidents in conditions of excessive working hours. The complexity of the construction field is presented and analyzed with all clarity, taking into account the multitude of existing risk factors, the stages of risk assessment and management are schematically depicted, the criteria for determining the probability of events.
