Construction Hazard Recognition: Themes in Scientific Research
Much research has been performed on construction workers’ hazard recognition skills, which has dramatically increased our understanding of how workers identify and process danger on job sites. Presently, research is fragmented and dispersed across various fields such as psychology, management, and technology. This review summarizes key themes in research that allow us to answer questions: how skilled are craft workers at identifying hazards, what hazards are most commonly identified and missed, what is happening in the brain as different types of hazards are recognized, and what types of techniques have been demonstrated to improve hazard recognition. The primary objectives of this paper are to answer these questions by codifying literature, identify inconsistencies in literature, and to highlight the knowledge gaps that still exist. The review focuses on reporting findings derived from reliable empirical data sources. This paper can serve as a resource for practitioners who cannot review the large and dispersed body of literature and for academics who wish to be informed about the state of the science in hazard recognition.
