Abstract: Abstract Owners in the core position of the whole process of the project at the design stage to strengthen the guidance on the design of construction safety can effectively eliminate the insecurity in the construction process, from the accident source control accidents occurred. In this paper, a questionnaire survey and statistical analysis, conducted a random survey for 500 designers in Wuhan, on the construction safety design for the owners. The results showed that the owners involving in construction safety design were not so common, there were still many obstacles. For example, better design bidding, only 17 percent of the owners considered the construction of safe design capacity. More than 50 percent of the owners did not meet safety design requirements, and it was difficult to design advices on accident prevention, security, selection of equipment and materials. About 65 percent of the owners did not establish a construction safety design incentives. Based on these results, the paper proposed advices through five aspects to further promote construction safety design recommendations.
