T he companies involved in construction have not completely
indicated the data to calculate the real costs associated with
accidents at work. Typically, these companies do not believe or
do not bother to track or calculate associated costs to accidents.
Objetive: To determine the relationship between direct and
indirect costs of occupational accidents in construction sector
projects.
Results: In Project 1 the direct costs exceeded almost half of
indirect costs, whereas project 2 the direct costs are a little more
than half of indirect costs. We obtained a ratio 1:0,41 to 1:1,71 for
project 1 and project 2.
Conclusion: Any company not considering important indirect
costs, because they are not covered by the Administrator of
Professional Risks (ARL) may involve unnecessary expense.
