Abstract:

In order to improve the safety management level of construction engineering, the characteristics of construction engineering safety accidents in the world were analyzed, the typical national institutional arrangements were explored, and the achievements and shortcomings of academic research were summarized. The results show that the overall trend of construction engineering safety accidents in the world changed from a large number of accidents with a low fatality rate to a small number of accidents with a high fatality rate, and the number of accidents and fatality rate in China increased first and then decreased, and remained at a low level. More attention has been paid to safety management at the bottom of the system (enterprise and market) in the United States, and design at the top of institutions (laws and organizations) has been more important in China and Vietnam, and both have been tightly controlled in Singapore. Fruitful results in four aspects have been achieved of literature research, safety evaluation indicators have been determined, safety accident occurrence and response mechanism have been explored, safety management investment has been calculated, and safety atmosphere measurement and mechanism have also been analyzed.

Key words: construction engineering safety management, safety accident, safety management system, domestic and overseas, number of accidents
