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.

Analysis of the incompatibilities occurring in an organization relies on identifying the problem and then applying the appropriate corrective and improvement actions. It is possible by using appropriate instruments of quality management and, basically, their sequence, which is a modern way of solving the problem, and it enables the improvement of functioning of an enterprise. Therefore, it is advisable to select an appropriate group of quality management instruments and use them in the appropriate sequence, because then they are complete and lead to full analysis and conclusions adequate to the problem. The aim of the article is to analyze the correlation and influence of the selected factors on the incompatibilities in selected processes, i.e. the production process of furniture fronts and furniture in general. Moreover, the idea is to use the appropriate sequence of instruments of quality management to solve various types of incompatibilities. The analysis was made at a company where a lot of different kinds of incompatibilities in processes were identified within 9 months. It was important to solve the problem for this enterprise because it was generating relatively large financial losses, and the lack of identified causes of the problem precluded taking preventive actions and developing the enterprise. After the initial analysis of the processes and problems, it was decided to use the correlation analysis, the Pareto-Lorenz diagram, the 5W2H method, the Ishikawa diagram and the 5Why method. The methodology and conclusions drawn from the analysis may be useful in solving complex problems at other production and service enterprises.

“…The identification and analysis of accident factors is an important area of scientific research, as it is the basis for the proper design and planning of training and preventive actions, which in turn leads to reduced accidents at work [10,[12][13][14][15][16][17].…”

“…The author, based on an analysis of the subject literature, made a detailed classification of accident factors, and then divided them into four main groups related to: working conditions, employees, management and organization of work, as well as work environment. Moreover, studies [17] in which the authors proposed a methodology for the classification of direct causes of accidents on scaffolding are also interesting. Using Pareto-Lorenzo analysis, the authors of the research identified causes that have the greatest impact on the occurrence of accidents.…”

The purpose of the article was to identify the socio-economic factors generated in a construction environment, which affect the number of accidents at a construction site. Moreover, the objective was to construct a mathematical model that correlates selected factors with the number of employees injured in accidents at work at a construction site, and also to estimate the influence of the identified factors on the level of occupational safety. Based on the analysis of the literature, it was stated that there are no studies describing the impact of socio-economic factors on accident rates in construction. The research included 104 factors that characterize the production value, the potential of enterprises, the generic structure of entities, and also employment and its volatility in the construction industry. In order to solve the problem, multiple regression analysis, available in the Statistica software, was applied. The developed mathematical multifactor model reflects empirical values very well, which was confirmed by the values of multiple correlation coefficients, the coefficient of determination, the adjusted coefficient of determination, as well as the mean square error and root mean square error. The construction of the model does not include qualitative factors, e.g., factors that describe the level of safety culture in the society. The developed model was used to determine the number of people injured in accidents at work. The model has certain limitations regarding its applicability. The model was developed for four selected Polish voivodeships that have a similar level of economic development and occupational safety.
