Title: Closure to “Developing a Model of Construction Safety Culture” by Rafiq M. Choudhry, Dongping Fang, and Sherif Mohamed
Abstract: The concept of culture is relatively new in the construction industry; however, it is gaining popularity due to its ability to embrace all perceptional, psychological, behavioral, and managerial factors. To address the lack of a verifiable process to analyze construction culture, this technical note presents a robust conceptual model that has its roots firmly entrenched in pertinent academic and applied literature. It provides a critical review of the term safety culture; along with distinct yet related concepts (i.e., climate, behavior-based safety, and system). It also compares the proposed model with available culture models in order to demonstrate its applicability in construction site environments.
