The research used literature review method by discussing the results of research related to the factors that cause accidents falling from heights in the construction sector. Library materials are taken from scientific search engines such as Google Scholar, Science Direct, and Pubmed. Based on the results of the search for scientific papers that are relevant to the factors causing accidents falling from heights, there are 9 scientific works that meet the criteria with 6 factors identified as factors causing accidents falling from heights, namely risky behavior, unsafe conditions, management and organization, human factors, work factors and external factors. This study focused on the factors that lead to fatal falls from altitude injuries.
