In recent years, there has been a vast reduction in the number of injuries to construction workers, but what is less recognised is the number of occupational health issues that are still prevalent across the sector.
To put this into perspective, for every death caused by an accident at work, 90 people die from a disease caused or made worse by their work. - HSE Statistics 2022/23
Occupational ill-health and the behaviour of construction workers are closely linked, because poor behaviour can increase risk. This whitepaper therefore explores how we can influence behaviour in order to minimise hazard exposure.
Topics covered in this whitepaper:
- Using the 'swiss cheese' model to visualise how multiple failures can increase risk
- Understanding the psychology behind a behavioural decision
- The Antecedent Behaviour Consequence (ABC) Model
- Understanding cognitive biases, optimism bias and hyperbolic discounting
- How to encourage & embed positive behaviour through motivation, instigation and maintenance
- Actions for positive culture change
- A psychologist's perspective
- Latest occupational ill-health statistics from the HSE
