Abstract
This research is discussing the current issues related to the safety in the sector of building construction. The construction industry is one of the most important sectors of Malaysian economy. However, accidents, injuries and fatalities continued to occur unabated on construction sites that shown a high incidence of accident and fatality. The management of health and safety is the most important function of construction management. Construction work is inherently dangerous, injuries to people and around construction site are happening regularly. It is lucky that some injuries are minor, but others are serious and even fatal. The construction industry has over recent decades suffered a poor safety record. The number of fatal accidents is getting high and higher, due to the increasing of building construction. This research aims to determine the causes of scaffold accidents in workplace and ways to implement adequate safety. The objectives of this research study included the causes of accident using scaffold in Malaysia and to identify the appropriate practice in the usage of scaffold in Malaysia construction and ways to prevent method to avoid accident using scaffold in construction site. Through intensive literature study, it has brought a better understanding on the definition of scaffold safety. Besides, the literature review also covers the cause of accident using scaffold, appropriate practice in the usage of scaffold and the prevent method to avoid accident using scaffold in construction site. The data of this research were collected through questionnaire survey and the results will be analyzed by utilizing pie/ bar chart, histogram and etc, and if possible, the data will be interpreted by utilizing the SPSS software.
