Accidents in construction projects, particularly in building activities, are common. These accidents can result in fatalities, major injuries, or near misses for the personnel involved, as well as additional effects such as lost work days and a negative image for the industry. Thus, accident prevention is essential through continuously improving construction health and safety. As a result, determining the elements that contribute to accidents is critical. The purpose of this study is to identify the elements that contribute to construction accidents, rank the various causes, and offer workplace safety solutions. A questionnaire was created in order to perform a survey of various workers in the construction industry, from unskilled labour to tradesmen. There were around 50 responders. The questionnaire includes the factors that contribute to construction accidents. The RII approach is used for factor analysis. The study revealed that unsafe working circumstances, caught between tools, equipment, and scaffolding failure are the most important reasons causing accidents, and that providing proper safety measures for workers on site will improve performance and also increase the productivity of the building industry.

Key Words: construction, high rise building, accident, hazard, workers, injuries.
