Technogenic sources and manifestations of the occupational risk of the builder are diverse. From the standpoint of occupational risk management, the factors affecting its level are of interest. The most serious result of occupational risk is occupational injuries, the frequency and severity of the consequences of which may be considered as quantitative expression of the risk level. In accordance with the provisions of economic theory, increased risk should be compensated by higher income. The purpose of this article is to assess the occupational risk in the construction industry in the regions of the Russian Federation and the extent of its compensation by wages. The analysis led to conclusions about the extremely high level of occupational risk of builders in most regions of the country, the absence of a pronounced effect of safety engineering costs on the risk exposures and the lack of risk compensation through the level of wages.
