Concerning the risk and incidents happening unexpectedly at working sites all around the world, construction industry has one of the first ranks between others according to relevant international and official statistics and formal evidences. Considering loss of life and property which such an incident can impose to the human being and society, it is obviously concluded that preventing from such accidents will preserve parts of human and financial sources which are both economic production factors. When it comes to construction, the main factor of accidents happening may briefly be entitled to the shortage of safety and security.
