Abstract

The occurrence of accidents in the construction industry in Peru has been a great concern since they generate delays

in the fulfillment, but above all, they generate justified absences to the injured workers, due to the medical breaks

generated, In addition to not being able to perform their duties due to the acquired disability, this also affects the

workers' daily life, since, being injured, they cannot perform activities ranging from helping with housework to healthy

recreation with their families, such as playing with their children or enjoying a family outing. When an accident at

work occurs, the investigation protocol is initiated to identify the root cause of the accident, generally identifying

personal factors, since in every accident there are always personal factors and work factors present.
