Current knowledge on effectiveness of interventions for preventing injuries in the construction industry

摘要：

Occupational injury rates among construction workers are the highest among the major industries. While several injury control strategies have been proposed by various organizations, their effectiveness for reducing the rate of injuries in the construction industry remains uncertain. A Cochrane systematic review was conducted on preventing occupational injuries among construction workers. The quality of the studies was assessed and the effectiveness of interventions was evaluated. Five studies were identified. There is no evidence that regulation alone is effective in preventing non-fatal and fatal injuries in the construction industry. There is limited evidence that a multifaceted safety campaign and a multifaceted drug-free workplace program are effective in reducing non-fatal injuries in the construction industry.
