Abstract
This paper presents some general considerations about the security issues in the Croatian construction industry, in view of diversity of extreme loading conditions that characterize this country. The bases of the statistical data for quantifying the extreme loading conditions are given. Namely, the influence of the strong stormy winds, destructive earthquake motions, great temperature changes, fire and large snowfalls are shortly described considering statistical bases for quantifying the values at the national level within National Application Documents of the appropriate Eurocodes.
