Abstract
The aim of this study is to survey and analyze the safety perception and attitude of the construction managers for the purpose of contributing to the construction industry accident prevention by inducing safety behaviors of managers. The data analysis found that there were significant differences on safety perception and attitude depending on job positions. This survey found that job position and career affect the safety perception and attitude of manager. Further analysis revealed job position has more an effect on it than career. Therefore, in order to improve the safety perception and attitude of managers, it is effective to put managers more responsibility on safety.
