Descripción:The approach to the situation of the Construction Sector in Costa Rica can be said to have multifactorial issues that directly affect the way in which this sector has been developing in recent years, as an adjunct to the dynamics of the economy. In the sense above, is worth noting that the construction sector in recent years has had an upward trend except in 2013 when it suffered a significant decrease, however relevant entities on the field as the Costa Rican Chamber of Construction (CCC) are optimistic overall in the stability of this sector, specifically in at first to the housing construction. In the context above, is of particular importance the consideration of the rules regarding aspects of occupational safety that governs the Construction Sector in our country, both national legislation and international, which has come to look regulate and support from the perspective of reducing occupational risks, and they are of concern to governmental entities such as the National Insurance Institute, which has made efforts in this area. From this perspective, the construction sector has been invigorating both from an economic perspective and impact for the country and the need to resume controls and regulations that come to give consistency to this sector, not only in the economic field, but in the occupational safety, which has been making important and necessary proposals for the stability of this sector.
