Abstract
The aim of this paper was to explore health and safety climate perceptions among employees
in different work positions in the construction industry in Republic of Macedonia. Three
aspects of this construct were in the study focus: perceived management commitment to
health and safety in the workplace, perceived health and safety inspections rate and
accidents frequency, perceived site workers commitment to work health and safety.
It was hypothesized that skilled workers perceived management staff as less committed to
work health and safety, noted health and safety inspection as rare and accidents as frequent
and perceived co-workers as more committed to work health and safety compared to civil
engineers and clerical employees.
Sample consisted of 156 employees in construction sector. Health and safety climate was
measured with 12 items assessed on a 5-point Likert scale. Results showed that perceived
priority of work health and safety depends on employees work position.
