The construction industry has long been plagued with a high number of fatalities in the *** safety improvements have been made after the USA Congress passed the Occupational Safety and Health Act in1970. However, this industry still suffers from a disproportionately high rate of work-related fatalities in comparison to other industries. To provide a holistic view of current construction safety practices and corresponding performance, this paper reviews statistics of construction fatalities and their causes. It then presents efforts led to prevent work-related accidents and injuries by the federal safety agencies and the industry. Additionally, advantages and limitations of current practices in terms of construction safety have been discussed along with promotion of aspects in construction work environment.

Frequent traffic accidents constitute a major danger to human *** accident-prone driver who has the stable physiological,psychological,and behavioral characteristics is one of the most prominent causes of traffic *** internal link between the individual characteristics and the accident proneness has been a difficult point in the accident prevention *** authors selected accident-prone drivers as cases and safe drivers as controls(case-control group) from 18,360 drivers who were enrolled from three public transportation incorporations of China using area stratified sampling *** case-control groups were 1:1 *** authors performed genome-wide association study(GWAS) by 179 cases and 179 controls using the *** Genome-Wide Human Mapping SNP *** authors observed that the gene frequencies of34 single-nucleotide polymorphisms(SNPs) in three regions of cases were higher than those in the control(P accident proneness(Pcombined= 6.37×10^(-10)).According to CBLN4 gene mainly involved in adrenal development and the regulation of secretion,the authors performed 12 biochemical parameters of the blood using *** levels of dopamine(DA) and adrenocorticotropic(ACTH)hormone showed significant differences between accidentprone drivers and safe drivers(P_(DA)= 0.03,P_(ACTH)= 0.01).It is suggested that the accident-prone drivers may have the idiosyncrasy of susceptibility.
