| Abstract: | The construction industry is one of the most dangerous industries in the world. Injuries in the construction sector are one of the biggest public health problems and can be prevented with appropriate measures. The aim of this study was to determine the behavioral characteristics of construction workers and their connection to accidents at work. A cross-sectional study was conducted at construction sites in the city of Bangalore, Karnataka. The survey was conducted at eight construction sites in Bangalore between January and April 2022. A total of 300 respondents were selected using non probability convinient sampling techniques. A semi-structured questionnaire was used in the interview process to collect the information.The inferential test, such as Chi‑square test, and the likelihood test were used to find the associations and odds ratio, and its 95% confidence interval was obtained. P < 0.05 was considered as statistically significant. Accidents at work during the last 12 months were reported by 51.3% of employees. The most common body parts injured were lower limb (46.3%) and upper limb (16.7%) . Most of the injuries reported were cuts (27.4%) and abrasions (68.6%) . Age, work experience, and various other risk factors such as alcohol consumption, inadequate sleeping pattern, tobacco consumption, lack of PPE were significantly associated with occupational injuries. Care should be taken to reduce the incidence of accidents in construction. Health and safety training should be provided to workers to increase awareness of workplace hazards and thereby help reduce injuries. |
