Faculty Civil Engineering and Geosciences Department Structural Engineering Date 2014-09-05 Abstract Structural safety during construction is a main concern for the building industry. Collapses of temporary structures or incomplete permanent structures are a threat for the safety of persons. Based on data from Dutch Labour Inspectorate this study concluded that approximately 20% of the fatalities during construction are related to structural failures. The total number of fatalities during construction exceeds (disputable) acceptability limits in the Netherlands. Structural failures were especially influenced by motivation of employees, available equipment and procedures. Improvement is needed, which can start with an increase of safety awareness.
