High rise buildings remain predominant. Many hazards
are associated with working at heights and with the vertical
transportation of materials, such as falling objects
or the fall of person.
Most construction sites are crowed, which do not have
sufficient storage spaces or spaces for auxiliary works.
In the construction site, different tradesmen have to
work close together within limited spaces. The most frequent
accidents include stepping on, striking against or
being struck by objects.
Hong Kong construction sites are still employing labour
intensive methods.
