BACKGROUND
Falls are a leading cause of mortality and morbidity in the construction industry. This study measured fall hazards at residential construction sites.
METHODS
Trained carpenters administered the St. Louis Audit of Fall Risks and interviewed carpenters. The prevalence of fall prevention practices meeting safety criteria was counted and correlations explored.
RESULTS
We identified a high prevalence of fall hazards at the 197 residential sites audited. Roof sheathing met safety criteria most consistently (81%) and truss setting least consistently (28%). Use of personal fall arrest and monitoring of unguarded floor openings were rare. Safer performance on several scales was correlated. Construction sites of large-sized contractors were generally safer than smaller contractors. Apprentice carpenters were less familiar with their employers' fall prevention plan than experienced workers.
CONCLUSIONS
Safety could be improved with consistent use of recognized fall prevention practices at residential construction sites.
背景
在建筑业中，跌倒事故是导致死亡和发病的主要原因之一。本研究对住宅建筑工地的跌倒风险进行了测量。
方法
由经过培训的木匠进行《圣路易斯跌倒风险评估》，并对木匠进行访谈。统计符合安全标准的预防跌倒措施的普及率，并探讨相关性。
结果
在接受评估的197个住宅建筑工地上，我们发现跌倒风险普遍较高。屋面覆盖层最符合安全标准（81%），桁架安装最不符合安全标准（28%）。很少使用个人防坠落设备，对无防护的楼层开口进行监测的情况也很少见。在几个方面表现更安全之间存在相关性。大型承包商的建筑工地通常比小型承包商的更安全。学徒木匠比有经验的工人对雇主的预防跌倒计划了解更少。
结论
在住宅建筑工地持续采用公认的预防跌倒措施可提高安全性。
