The Relationship

Construction occupational accidents are often attributed to workers’ having an insufficient perception of how their actions influence safety in the construction site. This research explores the relationship between safety climate (SC) and personnel safety behavior (SB) of construction workers operating on building construction sites in Taiwan. The study discovered a significant positive relationship between SC and SB of Taiwan’s building construction sites, and in turn SC level had a positive impact on SB participation and overall safety perceptions. The higher the SC cognition of Taiwan’s building construction workers, the better the performance of SB was found to be. The dimension of "safety commitment and safety training" had the greatest relationship with SB. Safety training also had a deep impact on the cognition of SB. Therefore, the organizational culture and attitudes to safety coupled with the successful implementation of safety education and training can effectively enhance SC and worker SB on building construction sites in Taiwan, thereby potentially reducing the impacts of the underlying organizational factors behind safety related incidents.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between the type of Workers' Compensation wage-replacement benefits—time limited and time unlimited—and rehabilitation outcome for 2077 persons who were identified as occupationally disabled in the state/federal rehabilitation program. Clients who received time limited Workers' Compensation benefits (N= 791) returned to work sooner and had a higher rehabilitation success rate than clients who received time unlimited benefits (N = 1286).

Hiv Aids

This study explored the relationship between human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (HIV/AIDS)-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour in migrant urban construction workers using structural equation modelling (SEM). A cross-sectional study was conducted among 428 male subjects on three building sites in Shenyang City. The SEM model of HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour was built using LISREL version 8.5 and it fitted the data well, as shown by an adjusted goodness of fit index of 0.82 and a root mean square error of approximation of 0.094. Knowledge of HIV/AIDS was closely correlated with attitudes and behaviour. Age was an important factor affecting HIV/AIDS-related knowledge, attitudes and behaviour. These findings suggest that increasing HIV/AIDS-related knowledge could improve the attitude and behaviour of migrant urban construction workers, enabling them to avoid high-risk behaviour that increases the spread of HIV/AIDS. Any intervention used will need to take the important factor of age into consideration.

The Relationship

This study examined the relationship between the type of Workers' Compensation wage-replacement benefits—time limited and time unlimited—and the rehabilitation process for 2077 persons identified as occupationally disabled in the state/federal rehabilitation program. While clients who received time limited Workers' Compensation benefits (N = 791) required less time to rehabilitate, they required more services, of a different type, and their rehabilitation programs cost considerably more than clients who received time unlimited benefits (N = 1286).
