Sažetak
The building construction process is inherently dangerous and falls in particular are a major, and sometimes fatal, hazard. The large companies use pools of sub-contractors who tend to focus mainly on price, rather than OHS. The paper discusses the field project and the methodology in the light of the recurring theme in OHS literature of a lack of safety precautions in the construction industry. From the evidence obtained through the interviews and the literature, the paper builds a case for the model of OHS implementation requirements.
