Falls from height (FFH) isa significant threat to the construction environment and are leading cause of serious fatal injuries for workers. Working at a increases likelihood being involved in fall accident. Since industry is carried out risky environments, it isexperiencing accidents different severity rates, some causing minor injuries, severe resulting fatalities. Most will affect individual,...

The authors undertook a review of fatal falls from a height, that occurred in 1991-92 in Singapore, with the objective of constructing mathematical models relating the height of fall to the injuries sustained. The 603 cases studied showed a mean age of 41.4 years with a male to female ratio of approximately 2:1. A sub-sample of 416 (69%) of these subjects had fallen from known heights (mean, 26...

Abstract Fall from height (FFH) accidents are common in the construction industry and cause many negative effects. This paper aims to identify events of falls causes FFH through a comprehensive literature review. The top three fall that resulted fatalities were falling ladder, scaffold, roof surface. classified into categories: human factors, management environmental factors. sub-factor for eac...

This paper explores the first author’s experience of surviving a fall from height, as preparation for small-scale phenomenological study with other survivors. In May 2018, I fell 20 ft (6.1m) mountain path and sustained multiple serious injuries. By exploring using Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis, was able to gain deeper understanding trauma surrounding itself, reflect on sharing perso...
