Odhaduje sa, že v súčasnosti pracuje v britskom stavebníctve viac ako 2,2 milióna ľudí. Patrí medzi najnebezpečnejšie odvetvia – vážne úrazy sa stávajú denne. Preto existuje množstvo bezpečnostných predpisov, ktoré majú úrazom zabrániť. V prvom rade si tieto predpisy vyžadujú, aby zodpovedná osoba (t.j. zamestnávateľ a iné osoby zodpovedné za projekt, objekt či pracovné postupy) posúdila riziká, ktorým pracovníkov na stavbe vystavuje (“risk assessment”). Predpisy si tiež vyžadujú poskytovanie školenia, pracovných pomôcok a ochranných pomôcok. Medzi najčastejšie úrazy na stavbách patria pošmyknutia, zakopnutia, pády z lešenia, pády do jamy a zranenia spôsobené padajúcimi predmetmi.
Živnostníci, osoby samostatne zárobkovo činné či “self-employed workers”
Zamestnanci, ktorí sú najviac vystavení rizikám stavieb, sú živnostníci, ktorý ponúkajú svoje služby v rámci “construction industry schéme”. V Spojenom kráľovstve je približne jeden milión takýchto pracovníkov. V skutočnosti, navonok medzi takýmito pracovníkmi a plnohodnotnými zamestnancami stavebných firiem nie je žiadny rozdiel. Vykonávajú rovnaký druh práce, majú určenú pracovnú dobu, musia poslúchať príkazy šéfa. Štatút živnostníka je často len nástrojom, akým sa objednávatelia (“contractors”) či agentúry zbavujú zodpovednosti za daného pracovníka. Nemusia platiť príspevky na sociálne zabezpečenie (“National Insurance Contributions”), nemusia za živnostníka niesť zodpovednosť tak, ako za zamestnanca (napr. nemusia platiť počas práceneschopnosti alebo dovolenky, môžu sa živnostníka ľahko zbaviť).
