Abstract: The construction industry is characterized by a high level of hazards to the life and health of employees and by a high accident rate. Knowledge relating to the course of the accident process plays a major role in work safety assessment and in accident prevention. On the basis of the EUROSTAT accident model a comprehensive general model of the development of an accident situation has been developed. The model enables the different possible configurations of the events occurring in accident processes in the construction industry to be traced and the most probable scenario of the events to be determined.
