Abstract:

In order to explore the differences in hazard perception levels among the new generation of construction workers with different risk propensities and enhance the risk perception level of different risk propensity groups in a personalized manner, 39 pictures containing hazards in the workplace were selected carefully, hazard perception data from 45 subjects was tested and collected by fixed eye-tracking device, and their risk propensity data was collected by questionnaire. Then permutation test, the heat map and the scan path map were used to analyze and verify data. Finally, the influencing mechanism of risk propensity on hazard perception of the new generation of construction workers was clarified. The results show that there are significant differences in the hazard perception level of the new generation of construction workers with different risk propensity. Compared with the high-risk propensity group, the low-risk propensity group exhibits fewer perceived quantity of hazards, shorter first fixation time, longer dwell percentage and more run counts. Although the number of hazards perceived by the new generation of construction workers with low-risk propensity is lower, they pay more attention to the identified hazards than those with high-risk propensity.
