Construction is world over thought to be a very hazardous industry. According to the International Labour Organization, it accounts for 30-40% of the world`s fatal injuries and non-fatal injuries occur most frequently than in other industries. Many different approaches to safety should be considered and implemented in order to reduce on-site safety risks and to achieve the goal of less or zero injuries. One of the key steps to achieve adequate safety levels at the construction phase of the project consists in safety risk analysis in pre-construction phase. The paper deals with the approaches to occupational safety risks analysis in construction and introduces the methodology of safety hazards identification and evaluation of risk levels for all identified hazards. The methodology was applied in the project of Shopping Centre Aupark in Košice. In this application the specific nature of construction process, uniqueness of construction site workplace, two degree decomposition of construction safety hazards and their synergy effects are considered.
