    New search for: Li, Rita Yi Man

    The Hong Kong construction industry has been characterized by a stressful work environment together with a poor safety record. The construction professionals always have to face the immense pressure from the tight schedule. Job burnout is thus experienced by many who particularly work on site. There is a thinking that burnout experienced by these construction personnel could affect their safety performance. Working on a construction site is quite different from work carried out in a more stable environment such as an office. Long working hours, lack of job security, tight programme, multi-layer subcontract systems, dealing with numerous parties, environmental issues, the public reaction to accidents, etc. are typical stresses in construction in Hong Kong.
