- W3206802829 abstract "Taking health and safety risks is no longer tolerated on construction sites.Behavioural based safety model programmes often seek to change risk-takingbehaviours and eliminate accidents. Risk is a cultural construct. Site work can beseen as inherently risky. Construction operatives take many risks that nonconstructionworkers would not want to take; for example working on high scaffoldsor roofs, climbing tower cranes, working below ground. This is in part why somepeople work in construction; they like taking those risks. Safety programmes imposea risk limit of zero on people. This would seem to be in conflict with an argumentthat some workers need to have, by the very nature of their work, a higher risktolerance than most. Programmes often fail to manage personal risk-taking andtherefore accidents still occur. A literature review was undertaken, drawing fromauthoritative sources in construction and psychology. Six qualitative interviews wereundertaken with craft workers / operatives who had either been disciplined for risktakingon sites or who admitted to taking risks in their work. Condensed intovignettes, a narrative describes the actions and feelings of these workers. A hightolerance for risk was found, and given the nature of the work, this may indeed benecessary. There was no desire for reckless behaviour. The traditional industrydrivers of production and speed are thought to be influential. High risk toleranceamongst workers may indicate that a vision of zero accidents may be unrealistic. Toreduce levels of risk tolerance may be very difficult. More work is required toinvestigate how behavioural based programmes can be modified to take account ofthis aspect of construction site culture." @default.
