Abstract This article stresses the special characteristics of the building construction and civil engineering sector (unique nature of each operation, provisional installations) and the importance of the French Act of 6 Dec. 1976 (CIS 77-899) which makes it mandatory for the contractor to draw up a safety plan. The author emphasises the necessity for thorough and detailed technical preparation of the construction programme, referring to various accident causes arising from the instability of structures during transitional stages while a construction project is under way, the employment of fixed or mobile production material (tools which are not properly adapted to their users or to the purpose for which they are used), and the risk of falls. Role of the safety service. Economic aspects of integrated safety.
