| Abstract |
The construction industry remains a dangerous sector of activity, with very high rates of occupational injuries and fatal accidents. A reduction in occupational accidents can only be achieved through the strict implementation of long-term occupational safety programmes. This article presents the ILO guidelines for occupational safety and health management systems (ILO-OSH 2001, see CIS 02-162) together with the conditions necessary for their application to occupational safety and health management in the building and construction industry. |
