The purpose of the article is to present the occupational characteristics of people injured in accidents at workplaces that use construction scaffolding. The results obtained from the analysis of occupational accidents involving construction scaffolding, which took place in five Polish voivodships: Dolnoslaskie, Lubelskie, Lubuskie, Mazowieckie and Wielkopolskie between 2010-2015, were presented. 177 occupational accidents were analysed. On the basis of post-accident protocols, the following occupational characteristics of employees who suffered from accidents were identified: the age of the victim, the time of day when the accident happened and the season of the year. In turn, on the basis of a review of the subject literature, the course of changes in an employee's performance during the day, week and calendar year was determined. The relation between efficiency and the identified occupational characteristics of the injured parties was determined.
