註釋ABSTRACT: This research examined the attitudes of current college students towards construction safety on the jobsite. Construction safety was a topic that was stressed in this master's curriculum. Proper safety measures help to keep workers from suffering injuries. Education helps to inform those in the construction industry of work-place dangers and of new techniques or technologies that are available to help keep workers safe. The expectation was that those entering the field of construction, who have been educated about the importance of proper construction safety, will strive for a safer work environment in the future. Current students, who are pursuing careers in construction, represent many of the future leaders in the construction industry. They will play instrumental roles in defining the manner in which worker safety is addressed. Their attitudes about safety will be reflected in their actions. Construction safety is very important for individuals as well as companies. The emphasis that leaders in construction place on safety may be well-entrenched by the time they graduate with their upper-level degreed. Thus, the attitudes of students towards safety are important to determine. Data were obtained from 1,950 survey participants from five different universities. The majority of these surveys were completed at the University of Florida by building construction students, but there was also participation from business, engineering, and architecture students.
