Abstract: The paper aimed at exploring the effects of cognitive structural variables on lifting workers' intentions to violate. On the basis of TPB, a model of lifting workers' violation behavior intention was built by introducing three cognitive structural variables, risk perception, safety consciousness and behavioral experiences. The hypothesis model was validated through the statistical analysis of the data on 257workers, obtained by carrying out a questionnaire survey, and SEM was used to reveal the influence paths of cognitive structural variables on lifting workers' intentions to violate.The result shows that safety consciousness, behavior experience, behavioral attitudes, subjective norms and perceptual behavior control have a remarkable direct effect on the intention to violate, that risk perception has a remarkable indirect effect on the intention through safety consciousness, that safety consciousness also has a remarkable indirect effect on the intention through behavioral experience, and that lifting workers' violation behavior intentions are also indirectly effected by risk perception,subjective norms and perceptual behavior control through the medium of behavioral attitude.

Key words: intention to violate, cognitive structure variables, theory of planned behavior (TPB), structural equation model(SEM), risk perception, safety consciousness, behavior experience
