Analysis of occupational accidents in the construction industry with regards to selected time parameters

The construction industry is characterized by a large variety and variability of implementation conditions. Construction works are carried out throughout the whole calendar year under varying atmospheric conditions, both during the day and also during the evening and night. Construction workers also often work overtime that exceeds the eight-hour working day. Work in such conditions creates a particularly high threat to the health and life of working people. In the issues of work safety the most important is worker, who in the accident process has a triple role: the decision maker, the perpetrator of an accident and the victim. The purpose of this article is to examine whether there is a dependence between the number of occupational accidents in the construction industry and time parameters such as: the time of an accident, the day of the week and the month in which an accident occurred. The article also attempts to determine the dependence between the age of the injured person, work experience and the number of hours worked by the injured person from the time of starting work to the moment of the accident
