This thesis was based on the questionnaires of the accident examination about the architecture industry which collected via Chong Qing Administration of Work Safety. It discussed the 43 falling accidents including where the accident occurs, the specific jobs, the casualty who injured in the accidents and the causes factors which occurred in the accidents. Through the investigation and statistical analysis, it is found that the falling accidents mainly occur beside the portals, the borders and the platform of the scaffolding. Most of the casualty, who is 30 ～ 40 year old peasant laborers, is engaged in the ordinary work. In the aspect of accident cause factor, the indirect reasons, such as the safety management, the safety education and so on is higher than the immediate causes slightly. This indicated that for the present architecture industry there are some problems in the aspects of peasant laborer's safety management, safe education etc..
