Abstract: For the sake of preventing falling accidents, behavior-based accident causation "2-4" model is introduced to analyze causes of 10 typical falling accidents. Firstly, one-time behaviors and habitual behaviors at individual level were studied, namely, unsafe acts, unsafe conditions, and safety knowledge and awareness. Then, operational behaviors at organizational level, namely organizational safety management systems, were researched. Finally, a behavior cause analysis model for falling accidents in construction sites was established. The results show that the most common unsafe actions are improper use of PPE and insufficient safety knowledge. Hiring temporary workers and not paying attention to hazards of surrounding environment are the main manifestations of low safety consciousness of production supervisors and site operators. Deficiency of safety management systems is mainly related to safety production rules and regulations and safety technology disclosure systems.

Key words: construction, falling, behavior-based accident causation "2-4"model, behavioral causes, unsafe acts
