Risk perception in construction sites in the Covid-era

Risk perception refers to judgments people make about the likelihood of negative occurrences such as injury, illness, disease, and death. Risk perception is fundamental in health and risk communication. Risk perception in construction sites has always had a pivotal role in security management. The aim of this review is to analyze classic factors that influenced risk perception in building sites and the unavoidable changes that occurred in this new scenario in a pandemic era; biological risk now concerns every aspect of life, especially the workplace. Overfocus on Covid could cause a lack of attention towards general risks. The need of a multivariable (including Sars-CoV2) risk assessment led to a remodulation of tools and specific training for workers. © by BIOLIFE, s.a.s.
