Abstract
Health & Safety management in construction in Spain shows signs of stagnation appear to be related more to the formalism and lack of innovation from which they suffer the actions of the agents involved in it than to the economic crisis that´s facing the sector activity. Against this background, this article attempts to analyze the role that architectural and planning and organizational options taken in the Project preparation stage play in occupational accidents occurring on construction sites. Secondly, it aims to identify the differences between the regulation of Health & Safe management to carry out at this stage at the EU and Spain. Finally, the article collects relevant researches in relation to the concept of “Prevention through Design” (Ptd) and “Design for Construction Safety” as the process in which designers explicitly consider safety issues during the design process in order to influence in the safety of the whole project life cycle.
