This paper is based on a regional study of safety culture in construction sector in Turkey. The research is based on a questionnaire survey. The main emphasis of the research is to map the significance of safety in Small and Medium Enterprises in Construction Sector on a regional basis. About 10% of all the accidents occurring in Turkey are within the construction sites and 32% of this percentage is resulting with loss of human life. Turkey has a high rank in occupational accident statistics in Europe and third worldwide. Health and safety is a costly issue. The costs of a sound health and safety system are considered as an economical burden to the construction projects. In the last 10-15 years, although the industry’s performance has shown a steady long-term improvement, the rates of death and serious injury are still unacceptably high. The industry needs a major culture change towards human life in its projects. The collected regional data is analysed and the results are discussed.
