Theobjective of this study is threefold: (1) to examine whether roofing accidents occur at differentrates during different seasons; (2) to identify temporal characteristics of roof-related constructionaccidents for the past few years; and (3) to check if these fluctuations are statistically significant.Statistical methods including chi square tests were applied to determine the significance of thesefactors.The results indicated that accidents occurred more frequently in specific time periods,particularly during the morning hours, with a significant peak in the summer months.

However, the effects of filtering arefelt more prominently than those of scaffolding [2].
