Despite improvements made in construction safety over the last few decades, injuries and fatalities still occur on a regular basis. So, how to prevent unsafe behaviors on site for both workers and managers is an important issue. This research tries to understand how construction practitioners process safety risk information from the perspective of how people perceive and tolerate safety risks under certain safety climate. Based on these behavior analyses, it provides valuable practical insights for better and more effective construction safety management.
