“…One study emphasized the significance of enlightening positive safety climate, as it will lead to the enhancement of hazard recognition and safety risk perception [ 7 ]. Construction workers perceive risk perception as a job hindrance [ 19 ]. An example of a job hindrance is work pressure, and this causes a negative impact on both safety motivation and behavior [ 19 ].…”

Workers’ wellbeing and safety is important in the construction industry due to the high risk of accidents. Safety climate development is a positive initial step toward raising the safety levels of construction practitioners. This study aims at revealing the factors influencing safety climate perceptions in the construction industry of Saudi Arabia. A set of extracted factors from the literature was validated and used to design a comprehensive questionnaire survey. Data was collected from 401 personnel working on 3 large construction project sites in Saudi Arabia. Descriptive statistics and the crosstabulation algorithm, Kendall’s tau-b correlation test, were used to analyze the data. The study revealed a set of 13 factors influencing safety climate perceptions, which are: Supervision, guidance and inspection, appraisal of risks and hazards, social security and health insurance, workmate influences, management safety justice, management commitment to safety, education and training, communication, workers’ safety commitment, workers’ attitude toward health and safety, workers’ involvement, supportive environment, and competence. The results also indicate the significant and anticipated role of top management in safety climate at sites. Implications of this study include assisting construction industry stakeholders to better understand and enhance safety climate, which in turn will lead to improved safety behavior, culture, motivation, and performance.

“…Despite the existence of various risk assessment systems, no tools have been found which make it possible to obtain a global rating for a construction project as a whole (Forteza et al, 2016;Pin-to, 2014;Simanaviciene et al, 2014;Salanova et al, 2005;Reyes et al, 2014;Claudino Véras, 2012;. Nevertheless, many research projects incorporate a climate of safety due to the uncertainty generated by human behavior in risk prevention (Gürcanli & Müngen, 2009;Xia et al, 2020), it being necessary to assess risk based on the common factors of Safety at Work, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics and Psychosociology (Mohamed et al, 2009;Zhao et al, 2016;Mushayi et al, 2018). It is significant that a risk assessment that can be based on different aspects and conclude on a single approach.…”

The techniques for preventing risk have traditionally been analyzed on an individual basis, it being highly complex to apply preventive procedures across the board in construction works. This implies the necessary risk assessment based on the common factors of Safety at Work, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomics and Psychosociology. This work analyzes and classifies the environments which characterize the building process: absolute (initial), documentary, construction, social and life cycle, and identifies the technical-documentary processes associated with each one. Finally, a new risk assessment method adapted to building works is proposed, called “Level of Preventive Action”, by means of a new mathematical formula which encompasses Safety at Work, Industrial Hygiene, Ergonomic and Psychosociological factors. It is based upon the development of the William T. Fine method, adapting it to construction works, with the incorporation of six parameters to explain the degree of correction. It consolidates and connects environment parameters to determine the preventive action level of the construction work, with the objective of establishing the levels of preventive control required to achieve an optimum prevention situation. The results of comparison between the environments in the implementation of the new risk assessment methodology during the construction process in a real building work are shown.

“…In a 2016 survey of 36 contractors, "communication" and "leadership style" were two (2) of the top six (6) factors influencing site productivity [5]. Additionally human factors has been identified as key component of effective safety management [6] [7] [8] on construction sites which has been attributed to increased labor productivity [9] [10].…”
