Safety in measurement activities of buildings done with different methods and equipment

In this chapter, methods and measurement equipment was described, which have been used by man since the beginning of history. Their accuracy and minuteness depend on the needs and goals of making measurements and the advancement of technology at the disposal of a user. The paper focuses mainly on the most modern method of building measurement i.e. laser scanning. A different aspect of making measurements with a scanning device and the principles of its safe use were presented. Building measurement activities are always connected with the risk of an accident, especially of falling from a height. The 3D laser scanner eliminates this problem, and additionally, we get a result which surpasses the accuracy of other described methods.
