Abstract

This cross sectional study conducted among 356 Chinese front line construction workers. It aims to explore how the safety stress and risk perception impact safety behavior and to examine the role of risk perception between safety stress and safety behaviors. Structural equation modeling demonstrated that safety stress negatively influenced both safety compliance and safety participation, while the safety stress positively affected risk perception. In addition, risk perception positively impacted on safety compliance, while negatively influenced the safety participation. We also found risk perception had the suppressing effect between safety stress and safety compliance, and the mediating effect between safety stress and safety participation.
