dc.description.abstractThis study was planned as a descriptive cross-sectional study to evaluate the knowledge, behavior, and attitudes of workers working in the construction industry about occupational health and safety. The research was conducted with 356 workers employed at randomly selected nine high-rise residential construction sites between January and July 2021 in Turkey. It was found that 36.3% of the workers wore seat belts while working at heights of seven meters and above. According to 98.4% of the workers, occupational safety meant "life safety". It was stated that the most important reasons for occupational accidents were carelessness at a rate of 66.3% and not taking safety measures at a rate of 33.7%. In addition, 61.8% of the workers thought that occupational health and safety training was necessary. It was determined that as the working experience of the workers increased, the workers found the occupational health and safety training given before starting work more useful (p<.0001). It was determined that the workers who experienced work accidents most were those with low education levels and less work experience.
