Abstract

Problem statement. The article presents the research results of the workplace training process for workers hired for the first time or repeatedly in the field of construction production. The problem of traumatism high level in construction has been revealed. The main approaches to determining the effectiveness of the labor protection system at the existing construction sites were highlighted. An analysis of the industrial injuries occurrence, the possibilities of its elimination, and the main directions that should be developed in the future to preserve the lives of workers in the construction industry were given. The authors have studied the developments and articles of other scientists, both foreign and Ukrainian. Factors of safety, which must be included in the complex process of the building project management are given. The analysis of the main accidents’ causes at work is carried out, and it is shown that the probation at the workplace is the most important element in the integral system of workers’ training using safe methods and techniques of work. The purpose of the article was to analyze the adverse factors influencing the increase in workplace injuries. In addition, it becomes obvious that the construction industry will be the most in demand in the future. The analysis of the European Union’ countries was carried out with the goal of creating a healthy and safe working environment.

The given scheme of apprenticeship and its consolidation at the state level with regular inspections will help to cope with this. It has been proved that by creating a flexible algorithm for testing employees' knowledge of safe work practices, it is possible to consolidate the own system at the state level and reduce the level of industrial injuries in the construction production. The idea of the unified system for apprenticeship is offered. Examples of the use of effective systems in foreign practice in the construction industry are given.
