By far the majority of accidents at work occur in the building and public works sector. Almost two-thirds of these could be avoided by considering the problem of safety on building sites from the moment work begins, and applying general preventive measures in architectural and technical decisions, as well as in the organisation and planning of construction work. Hence, European directive No. 92-57 of 24 June 1992 sets out rules for the contractor, some of which carry criminal penalties. Prevention is therefore the concern of everyone involved in construction, from the contractor himself to the worker on site. This practical guide is aimed at all these players. It sets out recommendations and is concerned only with technical planning. The accident prevention manager is responsible for drawing inspiration from this standard and adapting it to the special conditions of the site. The final aim is to ensure safety. For management problems and legal matters, refer to the Works Code and the various official texts in force. Decree No. 7380 of 22/05/1967, which relates to safety and protection on building sites, is given in the annex.
