(TU Delft Steel & Composite Structures) Zwaard, W Date 2012 Abstract The Dutch building industry has been shocked by some major structural accidents during the last 10 years with buildings during construction as well as with delivered buildings. Several initiatives were started to improve the safety. In other industries the safety awareness seemed to be more developed. In this article the Dutch building sector is compared with the aviation industry and(chemical) process industry, to see which safety influencing factors can be improved for the building industry. It appears that the risks in relation to a building after completion are fairly low, comparable to the other industries. On the other hand the approach towards safety in the building industry is relatively undeveloped, which gives starting points for improvement.
