In this paper, the tendency of labor accident affected by hot weather ambience were analyzed and discussed. At first, severity of construction works was evaluated in relative metabolic rate (RMR), and temperature limit of works was shown as some index, such as the wet bulb glove temperature (WBGT). The frequency of heat attack occurrence correlated with the number of the days when the maximum temperature became higher than 30℃. Because many processes were executed over the temperature limit, labor accident tended to occur in hot season, and particularly the fall accident from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. due to high temperature.
