dc.description.abstractMalaysia construction industries produce 3% of the country GDP and are one of the most hazardous industries, which is as a result of poor performance of safety and health measures. As such the study, studies the pattern of types and gender of construction workers accidents. Twenty - two (22) construction firms were identified that meet the study criteria. Descriptive statistic is iised in studying the pattern of the types and gender of the construction workers accidents. Descriptive analysis involves describing a specific situation of a particular result. The results of the descriptive statistic were presented according to the types and gender of the construction workers accident and presented in percentage of its total. Construction industry has been identified as male dominated industry i.e 96.5%. Falls at construction sites were the most common accidents and accounted for 51.95% of the total accidents occurrence on construction site, followed by falling objects accident 11.85%, crane accidents 5.99% etc. Despite the achievement in accident prevention at most construction sites, it has been identified that such types of accident still exists in construction sites. For any prevention measure to be effective in accident prevention there is need to identify those factors that causes the accident, and at the same time to analysis those factors so as to come up with effective preventive measures.en_US
