The high increase of accident in construction sites in recent time has necessitated the assessment of the causes, effects and the management of accidents in construction sites in the study area. Problems identified in the study area include; accidents due to slip trip, and falls; ladder accident; fails of material such as tools and equipment; and structure failure. An Area Cluster sampling method was adopted for the identification of new development areas, on the basis of ages of buildings in Iyesi Otta Area of Ado-Ota Local Government Area, Ogun State. Personal observation and interview, through interview guide were used to collect data on accidents in the construction sites, while a structured questionnaire was used to collect data from selected respondents (landlords) on the status of professionals used in the construction of their buildings. Fifty (50) respondents each were selected from the two areas selected, namely; the Oriade Area and the Adebisi Area, making a total of one hundred (100) respondents. Seventy-nine (79) respondents representing 79% employed nonprofessionals in the construction of their buildings, twelve (12) respondents representing 12%, employed professionals, while the remaining nine 9 respondents, representing 9% were uncertain of the status of professionals used in the construction of their buildings. Slip, trip and falls has the highest frequency of accidents with eighty – two (82) respondents identifying this type of accident as the most occurrence among the accidents in the construction site in the study area. Data collected revealed that no measure were on ground in the case of accident.
