description: The present study focuses on the great differences between the Western European countries, concerning the frequency of industrial accidents within the building trade. The aim is to distinguish the structural factors in society that affect the work "does corporatism matter?". As a background, the new conditions of the building sector in the European integration and in the Western European economies are accounted for. The study emphasizes the role of the labor market's parties (trade unions and employers' organizations) in the shaping of different national work environment systems. The question does the extent of interparty cooperation in the labour market and the use of temporary "flexible" labour, explain the great differences in work environment between northern and southern Europe?
