Abstract

There is an increase in the number of construction accidents in recent years in Hong Kong. While most of the previous studies focus on the causes of accidents and the associated costs the research on motivation of safety behaviors among construction practitioners is relative scarce. This chapter sheds light on the findings of a questionnaire survey and the results were analyzed with Principal Component Factor analysis. The findings indicate that recognition of safety behavior and workers’ safety concept are good motivation for workers to work safely. Human relationship and goal acceptance are less important factor for safety motivation.
