Study on Construction Worker Safety Performance Improvement Model in China

Article Preview

Abstract:

Construction is the second dangerous industry in China, which is preceded only by mining industry. Thus it’s necessary and urgent to ensure workers safety due to the specialty of the dangerous industry. Improving the safety performance of construction workers could be an efficient and reliable way to ensure their safety in China. Literatures related to safety performance, safety climate, safety behavior, personal issues and safety evaluation were reviewed. Based on this, a conception model for the workers safety performance improvement was then proposed and analyzed.
