118 environments. When hazardous construction work situations are not appropriately identified, workers are unable to alter behavior in order to avoid hazard exposure. Although safety research has focused heavily on construction risk assessment and the selection of appropriate
safety program elements, the fundamental prerequisite to improving safety – hazard recognition skill and knowledge – has not been given sufficient attention. Therefore, it is of utmost importance that effective and robust hazard recognition methods be developed that overcome the inherent limitations associated with current methods. The purpose of this study was to develop and experimentally field test a promising new strategy based on the underlying
concepts of mnemonics, andragogy, and dynamic safety planning.
