| Abstract | The construction industry started to boom recently. The construction work s have greatly impact in developing the economy particularly in Thailand . Many infrastructures have been built and many investors have been encouraged to bring their business in the country. Many new technologies have been used to upgrade the construction process, but despite of th is new knowledge, problems keep on arising at different level in any construction site. Therefore, this research was conducted to study abou t safety in construction work which is specifically related to safety attitude of worker. Moreover, the safety programs in construction works w ere also studied. There were three objective s in this study such as follow : (1) to develop work er attitude const ruct and model ; (2) to study the implementation level of safety programs in Oil and Gas industry ; and (3) to determine the correlation between safety programs and worker attitude. In order to carry out the research objectives, the author collect ed data fr o m workers and safety managers by using questionnaire. These data were analyze d by using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software . In addition, the safety managers were interviewed to understand more the safety occupation they ap plied in their companies. As the result of this study, the worker safety attitude construct was found hav in g six factors. These are p ersonal motivation for behavior, p ersonal effectiveness, p ositive safety practice, e xternal motivation, c ognitive and b elief. These factors represent the worker attitude, which the company can apply to develop more the worker attitude. For the implementation level of safety programs, th e result of th is study shown that the safety programs were more implement ed in the work place. It was also found out that among the safety programs which implemented; in - house safety rules and personal p rotection Equipment have th e highest levels . . In the contrary , b ehavior base safety has the lowest level of safety programs implementation . The correlation study between safety programs and worker attitude revealed that these two have no correlation at all . These can explain that the safety program have indirect impact to worker attitude. Moreover, there are many factors which affect the worke r attitude. Thus the safety programs are not the only possible reasons hav ing direct impact to worker attitude. |
