Znaczna część robót budowlanych, wykonywana jest na wysokości. Są to prace, z którymi związane jest duże ryzyko zagrożeń. W artykule zawarto analizę zdarzeń niebezpiecznych związanych z rusztowaniami budowlanymi, uzyskanych z zasobów internetowych. Pozyskany w ten sposób materiał badawczy umożliwił przeanalizowanie nie tylko wypadków przy pracy, ale również zdarzeń wypadkowych z udziałem osób trzecich oraz zdarzeń potencjalnie wypadkowych. W artykule przedstawiono charakterystyczne przykłady takich zdarzeń.

A good level of knowledge is required in order to carry out construction processes in the correct way. The knowledge is acquired from publications, documents, legal regulations, standards, but mainly from construction projects carried out. This knowledge also resides in the employees’ minds. The recording, storing and processing of knowledge for the purpose of drawing inferences about future projects may aid management processes to a considerable degree. The “Knowledge Map” can be used as a tool supporting decision making on the basis of the accumulated knowledge. The paper presents benefits which stem from the use of the proposed Knowledge Map in a building enterprise.

The construction industry is characterized by a high level of hazards to the life and health of employees and by a high accident rate. Knowledge relating to the course of the accident process plays a major role in work safety assessment and in accident prevention. On the basis of GUS reports and the EUROSTAT accident model a comprehensive general model of accident situation development has been developed. The model enables one to trace the different possible configurations of the events occurring in accident processes in the construction industry and to determine the most probable scenario of events. It is essential to define such scenarios in order to correctly specify the directions of preventive measures.
