Abstract

An overview is given of occupational safety and health and of training in the construction sector, summarizing the findings of different researchers. The studies discussed emphasize safety instruction and on the job training at sites, especially the teaching of first aid skills and accident prevention. Construction workers regard occupational training as important in maintaining work ability. Present developments of vocational training with new flexible pathways are described. Rehabilitation needs are found to be a further important target of work ability promotion. The study provides support for comprehensive occupational health and safety measures. New feedback safety measures (LIIKKUVA, TR- safety audit), which are based on goal setting and a follow up in collaboration, seem to improve considerably both the safety and the development of construction work.
