Construction sites are hazardous working environments, and accident rates in the construction industry are higher than those of other industries in most countries. This study compares the accident prevention strategies of the construction industry in Taiwan with those in England, Japan, America, and Australia, which have lower accident rates than most other countries. This study compares the construction safety codes, safety management methods, training and education, and public construction accident prevention strategies of these five countries to find a better solution for accident prevention. The main results of this study are: (1)Construction safety and inspection codes with rules about the safety responsibilities of the clients, designer, and construction firm are useful for clarifying the safety management obligations of each party and improving safety management performance. (2)In terms of guidance and education, cooperation between the government and private education and training organizations in planning educational materials for construction health and safety helps establish the professional construction health and safety education system. These actions can directly improve the performance and quality of the safety education of construction enterprises. (3)Regarding accident prevention strategies in public construction, the selection of contractors with safety risk management capabilities during the project tendering stage is helpful for project safety management, inspections, and auditing. These results suggest effective management strategies for preventing construction accidents in Taiwan.
