“…Based on this, Byrd proposes to measure food safety cognition along three dimensions: attitude, knowledge, and self-efficacy (Byrd-Bredbenner et al, 2012 ). The scale developed by Chen is mainly used to measure the safety cognition of construction workers, including human error, safety performance, accident causes, risk perception, management actions, safety management and control, as well as accident statistics, totaling 29 items (Chen et al, 2011 ). In recent years, several researchers have explored the structure of individuals' safety cognition from the perspective of general abilities.…”

The salience of social risks and the incidence of various crises in China have induced widespread concerns among urban residents. Encountering frequent risks places higher demands on the cognition of urban residents. The concept of safety cognition capability is defined within the context of urban residents' daily life, and measurement instruments are developed and tested to lay the foundation for grasping the current safety cognition capability of urban residents and conducting further research. In this study, the five-dimensional structure of urban residents' safety cognition capability (URSCC) was proposed by using the grounded theory method to sort out the interview transcript of interviews with 30 urban residents, and a 38-item URSCC scale was designed and used for surveys conducted in China. The results show that the scale can be used as a valid tool to measure the URSCC, and it can help city managers to better understand the safety needs of residents, as well as monitor the effectiveness of policy implementation.

There have been limited studies analyzing the causes of construction workers’ unsafe behaviour from the social psychology perspective. Based on a Grounded Theory approach, this study first identified and defined seven coded categories related to workers’ dangerous behaviour on construction sites. The original qualitative data were obtained from individual site interviews conducted with 35 construction professionals. These main categories were found connected to workers’ status of safety awareness and sense of danger, which affected the type of unsafe behaviours, i.e., proactive, passive, or reactive behaviour. By further integrating social cognitive psychology theories into workers’ behavioural decision-making process, the formation mechanism framework and diagram were developed to describe construction workers’ unsafe behaviours based on the dynamic process of balancing the individual desires and perceived safety risks. This study advances the body of knowledge in construction safety behavioural management by performing in-depth theoretical analysis regarding workers’ internal desires, activated by external scenarios and intervened by a personal safety cognition system, which could result in different motivations and various behavioural outcomes. It is argued that safety cognition serves as a mediated moderation system affecting behavioural performance. Practical suggestions on developing a proper safety management system incorporating safety education in guiding construction workers’ site behaviours are presented.

“…Thus, different scholars and experts have different theories and opinions about how to feature safety culture dimensions. In light of literature review, the dimensions of safety culture can be divided into at least Safety Commitment [7,8], Safety Training [9,10], Safety Communication [8,11], Safety Environment [12,13], Safety Rule [10,14], Safety System [15,16,17], Safety Leadership [18,19], Risk Management [8,13], Safety Knowledge [20,21], Safety Encouragement and Punishment [11,8], Safety Awareness and Attitude [21,22,23], Safe Behaviour [6,22], and Worker Participation [24,25,26]. That proves that safety culture is a multidimensional concept, so it is difficult to fully understand safety culture.…”

The Taiwan Occupational Safety and Health Management Systems (TOSHMS) and literature relevant to safety culture were used to sort out the influential dimensions in safety culture, establish a questionnaire framework for evaluating current safety culture, analyze four railway companies in Taiwan, and further investigate the current safety culture and the relationship between safety culture and occupational accidents. It was found in the investigation that significant percept ional differences existed in Health Activities, Safety Training, Safety Rule, Safety System, Safety Encouragement and Punishment, and Performance Measurement. From the analysis of safety culture and disabling injury frequency Rate（DIFR）, it is known that low DIFR does not ensure that risks are effectively controlled. It is thus known that the railway industry in Taiwan needs continuous improvement in terms of safety culture.
