Worker's Attitudes Towards Safety in the Construction Field

Safety attitudes of workers to construction sites Safety in the workplace is a fairly important topic. People are concerned about security in times of litigation, heavy insurance premiums, medical malpractice, if it is not humanitarian reasons, and in the case of currency security it is "final profit". This is the so-called "strong" dollar. In my research I tried to solve the safety problem at work but I think that this problem is often overlooked, that is, I missed the attitude of workers towards safety.

It is widely believed that dangerous behavior is inherently related to occupational injuries. There is a positive correlation between the safety behavior of workers and the safety environment in the construction site environment. Attitudes of construction workers to safety are affected by their perception of risks, control, safety rules and procedures. Various studies including Niskanen (1994), Glendon and Litherland (2001), and Mohamed (2002) are investigating the safety environment of buildings in developed countries. In most of these studies researchers replicate models that were tested to develop new models or to improve their validity. However, in the context of developing countries, research in this field is lacking.

This research focuses on the national culture and safe climate of the construction industry in Pakistan. More specifically, we will investigate the safety concepts, attitudes, behavior, and safety practices of management of construction workers in Pakistan. It will present some actual results of the survey conducted by Pakistan for construction workers and administrators with security management responsibilities. In Pakistan there is a relatively new understanding of building safety, the construction industry lacks adequate construction safety standards and planned infrastructure.

As more and more women enter the construction industry, concerns about health and safety are rising. In addition to the major safety and health risks faced by all construction workers, female construction workers have safety and sanitation problems. The proportion of women in the construction industry is small, and serious safety and health problems peculiar to female construction workers have periodic effects. A building's safety and sanitation problem hinders women from entering the site. As a result, a small number of female unions working at construction sites are creating an environment where these safety and sanitation problems arise or will continue to exist.
