In order to take the necessary safety measures and to minimize the risk of accidents that may occur during the production, dismantling, and repair of roof and facade cladding systems, during the design process, it is necessary to analyze the prominent accident types and their causes with numerical data. In this study, concerning construction sector, the principal factors affecting fall accidents occurring during roofing and facing works are investigated by a questionnaire survey. Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) is utilized to analyze the survey results. The results of the EFA identify three key factors; (1) business culture and inappropriate workplace, (2) dynamic and unstable external effects, and (3) job analysis. As a result of this study, the main factors affecting the accidents of falling from height during roofing and facing works are identified and contribution is made to the selection of appropriate protection methods for the practitioners.
