This study aims to examine the causes of accidents and hazard s in the Ghanaian construction industry (GCI) from the perspectives of key stakeholders, and also the available legal regulations and provisions regarding remedies for redress in case of accidents. A qualitative research strategy with in-depth face - to - face interviews was adopted. Participants for the interview were seven of which are Contractor s , Consultants, Construction Workers , and S uppliers/ Manufacturers using data saturation principle. The selection of interview participants was based on purposive sampling, while data was analyzed using the content analysis technique. Five major causes of accidents and hazards that are critical for remedying were identified, including common law liabilities of the Employer who is the Contractor, with a duty to ensure that adequate provisions are made for the works to be carried out safely. The findings of the study provide adequate knowledge to the contractor and other stakeholders of the roles, duties , and responsibilities to ensure improved implementation of CHS practices. The study examined the legal basis and consequences for causes of accident s and hazards in the Construction Industry. Since large construction firms were considered in the current study, it is recommended that similar studies be conducted involving small and medium enterprises.
