Abstract EN
The vast majority of accidents in construction are generated by unsafe behaviors.
Some researches also find that the behaviors could be influenced by the awareness and safety climate.
The safety behavior and awareness belong to individual levels, while the safety climate belongs to the organization level.
Previous studies mainly focus on the relationships between safety climate, safety awareness, and safety behavior without considering their different respective levels and the interaction between levels.
This study establishes a hierarchical linear model (HLM) of safety climate, individual safety awareness, and safety behavior to examine the multilevel relationships between them.
Data were collected using questionnaire from workers in different teams on the construction site in China.
The results indicate that organizational safety climates affect individual safety behavior and safety awareness.
In addition, there is a positive correlation between individual safety awareness and safety behavior, and the safety climates have a positive moderating effect on the relationship between them.
The final conclusion offers a path for the current practice of safety management in the construction industry.
