“…Thanks to legislation [16,17], improvement of several management standards [18], development of a culture of safety [19][20][21], better organization of tasks and responsibilities [22], improved communication [23] and the emergence of several new decision support tools and approaches [18,[24][25][26][27], OHS is becoming a major criterion in project management alongside quality, cost and delays. Being able to offer work in safe environments is becoming essential for attracting and retaining skilled labor [28].…”

“…These include: temporality, high outsourcing (Hermanus, 2007), low educational level of the workers, lack of training, lack of prevention culture and communication problems (Fung, Tam, Lo & Lu, 2010), complexity and ongoing natural changes within the work environment (Ringen, Englund, Welch, Weeks & Seegal, 1995), the fact that every construction project is of a unique nature (Tam, Zeng & Deng, 2004) and many times, the high number of immigrant workers who are unfamiliar with the construction, materials and methods, and often do not even speak the local language (Martínez et al, 2010).
