Descripción
When improving prevention systems in building processes, the fundamental characteristic parameter employed to evaluate occupational hazards on construction sites is the participation of all building agents and workers. This is achieved by contributing to the improvement of the physical and geometric design characteristics within building process documentation, by enhancing material and human resources, together with onsite prevention systems in the building environment, and by improving cooperation and satisfaction levels among workers. Learning to observe people on various construction sites and in their workplaces is crucial as regards discovering unsafe or unsatisfactory practices, since accident prevention and risk management are a priority in the construction industry. In this context, accident rates are very high and psycho-social sciences take into account different factors, such as work control, the usage of protection equipment, personal responsibility, security training, social support, commuting accidents and psycho-social discomfort. Our risk evaluation method, which has been adapted to construction work and is denominated as Level of Preventive Action (Lpac), comprises the following key environments in building processes: documentation, construction and social interaction. The psychosocial risk evaluation derived from this method, when applied to a social interaction environment, implies the following parameters: participative interest, which analyses individual and group behaviour and attitudes, and satisfaction level, which evaluates staff?s direct interaction through the use of a psychosocial survey that measures workers? subjective perceptions of theirsatisfaction levels. The results obtained during the implementation phase of the aforementioned method are shown in two categories: on the one hand, coherence between the answers obtained from workers and evaluators, and on the other, the evolution over time of both participative interest and satisfaction levels. The foundation of this procedure is the different emotional states with which onsite workers identify themselves during data acquisition.
