Abstract (EN): The study was based on the analysis of Safety's Plans in Construction and in the statistics of construction work accidents in Portugal. The collected data was obtained from several sources including insurance companies, official published statistics, building construction companies, hospitals, police, other publications and mainly from professional associations. The analysis of Safety Plans in Construction was based on the supplied elements, having as final goal to obtain a comparison, through the compared statistical analysis of the accident indexes, among the number of occupational accidents in the Construction. The objective was to obtain a cause effect relation, to know which kind of accidents are most frequent, the most common mistakes, the type of injuries that occur from the accidents and their seriousness. This analysis allowed, in terms of objectives, to detect the most common mistakes that imply the possible occurrence of construction work accidents and therefore aiming at the adjustment of more effective preventive measures.
