Factors Influencing The Occurrence Of Labour Accidents In Vietnamese Residential Construction Projects

Tóm tắt

There was a sharp increase in the annual injury rate and the annual death rate per 100,000 employees in the Vietnam construction industry (VCI) from 2000 to 2006. This study aimed to identify and analyze factors affecting the occurrence of labour accidents (OLA) in residential construction projects. A survey questionnaire was used to collect data from construction practitioners. The results show that labour accidents in the VCI resulted from factors related to unqualified construction resources, unsafe human behaviour and poor management. The results can be used to gain insight into the OLA in order to deal with high labour accident rate and to develop safety programs in Vietnam as well as in other developing countries.
