Purpose: The article introduces the issue of technical safety, characterises selected activities that create hazards on construction sites and suggests ways to eliminate them. Findings: Knowledge of reliability is essential to carry out construction works. The need for the structural engineer to consider safety issues and the obligation to have a general knowledge of safety and technical safety arises. Knowledge of technical safety allows for the proper execution of works on site. Research limitations/implications: The level of safety on a construction site depends on many factors, and a significant group of these are technical factors that determine the possibility of adverse events occurring. Practical implications: Safety is defined as a state that provides a sense of certainty and a guarantee that it will be maintained and an opportunity for improvement. The level of safety on a construction site depends on many factors, and a significant group of these are technical factors that determine the possibility of adverse events occurring. The possibility of adverse events occurring is called unreliability. It is the opposite concept of the reliability, which is more commonly used in the construction industry. Originality/value: A useful tool for ensuring technical safety on construction sites is the Health and Safety Plan or HSE Plan, and the Instructions for the Safe Execution of Work - IBWR instructions. Those documents are intended to protect the health and lives of workers by providing information on how to prevent hazards associated with the execution of certain construction work and how to deal with them should they occur.
