The research aims to explore how gender affects hazard recognition and risk perception among construction workers.
Seventy construction workers evaluated static images of construction scenarios with varied gender representations.
Participants identified hazards, rated perceived safety risk, and responded to gender-related attitude statements.
Data were analyzed using linear mixed-effects models and nonparametric tests for repeated measures.
Female workers had significantly higher hazard recognition (Mean = 35.80%) than male workers (Mean = 28.45%; p = 0.007; Cohen’s d = 0.65).
No significant stimulus-based gender effect was found on hazard recognition performance.
Male participants perceived higher risk when evaluating female workers (Mean = 0.14 vs. -0.17; p = 0.015; Cohen’s d = 0.60).
