LANG0050 Essential Literacy for Construction Professionals II 2023 CRITICAL SUMMARY Reference entry De La Garza,. JM, Geller, E.S , Hasanzadeh S 2023 ‘The safer you feel, the less safely you might behave – but research suggests ways to counteract this tendency’, The Conversation,January 11, viewed 9 April 2024, < https://theconversation.com/the-safer-you-feel-the-less-safely-you-might-behave-but- research-suggests-ways-to-counteract-this-tendency-190527 Introduction In this article from The Conversation , De La Garza et al. (2023) discuss some of the issues surrounding keeping workers safe in risky industries. The article was written by three researchers from top-tier universities in the USA, and is based on investigations from a major research project, ‘Latent Effects of Safety Intervention’ (2020). The purpose of the text is to raise awareness to the potential heightened risks caused when workers do use safety equipment. This article offers insight into their significant project and also provides industry expertise on this highly important issue. It will be valuable in preparing to write a report on solutions around site/worker safety in the construction industry in Australia. Summary This article describes how to use dangerous situations safely and shows how willing an employee is to place themselves in potential danger willingly. In Australia, the construction industry has a critical problem with worker safety that requires immediate attention. This article discusses worker safety in Australia's construction industry. This focuses on the text's two portions. In the first portion, background information on significant building industry challenges is provided by the author. The first article explains what happens when an employee or individual is wearing safety equipment (PPE). Employees or individuals are expected should modify and adjust their actions in response to any perceived changes in danger. As a result, employees may perceive the job done as less hazardous if correct PPE and machine guards are present and available for use. "Adding guardrails to the roof's edge and providing a fall-arrest system for the roofer provided real protection and rightfully increased a sense of security, which resulted in participants' stepping closer to the edge of the virtual roof, leaning over the edge, and spending more time exposing themselves to the risk of falling," Is an instance where the article explains to the audience that employees or individuals who feel safer will most likely be more comfortable to put themselves at risk. (2023). According to the remark, when safety measures like guardrails and fall-arrest systems are present, people feel more secure and could be more willing to take risks. People feel safer when they believe they are shielded from harm by a safety net. The article illustrates the value of regular toolbox talks and safety training in educating staff members about potential hazards and safe work practices that can reduce the likelihood of injury or danger. © Western Sydney University Enterprises Pty Limited 2023 7

LANG0050 Essential Literacy for Construction Professionals II 2023 Critical analysis The author De La Garzer, JM, Geller, E.S., and Hasanzadeh S. claim in the latest editions (2023) that "the safer you feel, the less safely you might behave." The text goes into great detail into why people can feel safe even when the activities they engage in don't fully protect them, as well as why taking measures might actually make things more dangerous. A summary is given in the article of the actions that should be performed to reduce the possibility of individuals getting wounded. To lower the hazards connected with working in the construction business, a number of actions can be taken, such as prioritising workplace safety. The writer separated the content into two sections in order to inform readers about these issues: The extent to which options and safety precautions contribute to risk, as well as the variety of options, philosophies, and safety comparisons that may influence decision-making. Conclusion Thus, proactively minimising and preventing risks is a crucial element of risk management that may incur to superior results. Therefore, risk processes have been identified to be crucial for governing and diminishing possible hazards in multiple settings including corporate and industrial circumstances. Procedures for regulating risks well can increase an organization's resilience and capacity to deal with unforeseen issues or events such as implementing safety precautions intended to reduce the degree of risk. It's possible that compensating for danger will increase people's perceptions of safety. Businesses have the ability to lessen the probability of substantial losses and enhance their total effectiveness and success by immediately reducing potential dangers and implementing efficient safety measures when they can. © Western Sydney University Enterprises Pty Limited 2023 9
