Two major hazards that are common in construction sites have been
identified. Physical injury hazards are often caused by equipment used such
excavation and processes such as manual handling, and roof work . These
hazards can cause direct injury to workers at site and, if severe, it can
even cause death. Different types of mechanical energy such as noise,
vibration, radiation and temperature extremes can also cause physical injury

Conclusión
The problem of risk management is not only current but it is essential for
choosing a method of analysis and the final risk assessment one should be

The most popular methods (of project risk analysis) are the following:
tools are different, however these should not discourage their use
