Abstract

The costs associated with work accidents have been thoroughly studied in a variety of activities. However, the traditional models for studying the costs derived from work accidents are not effective for use in analyzing construction sites. Moreover, considering that construction sites are the ones that register the highest number of work accidents and that these accidents have important associated costs, not just for the society but also for companies in which they occur, the main objective of this research is to analyze the health and safety costs management at the construction companies, for this the influence of the construction companies health and safety investment on the costs in which the construction sites incur as a consequence of the work accidents or improper health and safety measures, will be checked. For this reason a sample of 40 construction sites have been analized, with a total of 178 accidents.
