Sažetak
The construction industry has a higher rate of occupational accidents at construction sites than other sectors. Therefore, it is necessary to take effective measures to prevent accidents from occurring on the construction site. This study examines the attitudes of construction staff towards construction safety, the sources of their safety knowledge, and their views on the likelihood of accident occurrence. It identifies the causes of accidents and the most common types of injuries at construction sites, focusing on three specific regions in China: Shanghai, Qinghai, and Henan. Data were collected using questionnaires. Overall, the results show that the main reasons for occupational accidents are workers’ lack of safety awareness (over 90%), work fatigue, and the older age of staff, all of which contribute to unsafe behaviour at the construction site.
