A construction disaster is a situation in which serious accidents, damage or breakdowns occur in the construction structure, which may lead to the risk of death, injuries or property damage. Such disasters can have different causes and include different types of construction projects, such as buildings, bridges, tunnels or other infrastructure elements. The causes of construction disasters may be related to design or implementation errors, material defects, construction activities that are not in conformity with standards and regulations, negligence in maintenance of construction and equipment. In the event of a construction disaster, a rapid response by emergency services is needed and measures are taken to minimise damage and protect people.
