Abstract
The construction industry is one of the pillars for a stable economy in Malaysia because construction industries involve both local and international investors for construction projects. It offers up to 9.1% of employment, for around 1.33 million people in 2017. Unfortunately, according to a research paper entitled ‘Causes of Fatal Accidents Due to Fall of Persons in Malaysian Construction Industry’ written by Nor Haslinda Abbas stated that construction industry is one of the industries that contributes a lot to economic growth within the country or called as an accident-prone sector. Construction workers are also subject to different inherent risks associated with construction site working conditions. CIDB identifies 6 common types of accidents that occurred at a construction site in Malaysia from 2015 to 2017 which are, falling from a height or falling into a dangerous location (38 cases). Struck by and hit by an object (32 cases), pinned by building materials or machinery (16 cases), electrocution (6 cases), buried under collapsed holes (5 cases), and poisonous gas (2 cases).
