The construction industry is considered one of the most hazardous industries, and implementing a safety program is regarded as one of the most effective approaches to improving safety performance. However, any safety program's success depends on specific factors for satisfactory outcomes. Identifying factors influencing safety performance from a worker's perspective is key to improving safety management. This study determined the critical factors contributing to the construction industry's safety performance by building construction artisans in Ghana. Through a literature review, 55 factors influencing safety performance were selected from previous studies and evaluated by the building construction. An exploratory factor analysis was used for dimension reduction, and seven components clustering the 55 factors were revealed. The results showed that management support and commitment toward safety performance was the most influential component. The findings of this study can be utilized to enhance health and safety performance in the building construction industry.
建筑行业被认为是最危险的行业之一，而实施安全计划被认为是提高安全绩效的最有效方法之一。然而，任何安全计划的成功都取决于实现满意结果的具体因素。从工人的角度确定影响安全绩效的因素是改善安全管理的关键。本研究通过加纳建筑工匠确定了影响建筑行业安全绩效的关键因素。通过文献回顾，从以前的研究中选择了 55 个影响安全绩效的因素，并由建筑工匠进行了评估。采用探索性因子分析进行降维，揭示了 55 个因素聚类为七个组件。结果表明，管理层对安全绩效的支持和承诺是最具影响力的因素。本研究的结果可用于提高建筑行业的健康和安全绩效。
