dc.description.abstractLiterature on construction safety have reported the importance of hazard recognition to an\ safety management initiative. The persistence of poor safety records of the construction industry has been linked to the inability of workers to recognise and manage work hazards. This is certainly among the major reasons for the growing research interests on the improvement of hazard recognition performance of construction workers. To avert the negative consequences of poor hazard recognition of construction workers, it is important to understand the factors that influence their hazard recognition capabilities. This will enable the development of appropriate strategies to improve the level of hazards recognized and managed by the workers, thereby achieving the desired improvement on the general safety performance of the construction industry. This paper reports on efforts to provide empirical evidences of factors influencing hazard recognition capability of construction workers. A total of 53 factors were identified from literature and validated with 14 construction experts. The factors were grouped as personal, organisational, social, and project factors. The paper is the first step in a larger sludy aimed all developing a model for evaluating hazard recognition capability of construction workers
