Risk perception influences workers' behaviors. This study assessed the association between hazard recognition, risk perception and safety climate among steel manufacturing workers. The survey instrument measured steelworkers' perceptions regarding their safety climate, risk perception and hazard recognition. Participants were from a large steel manufacturing organization in the northeastern United States. Study results showed that open moving parts and crane movement were the most identified safety-related hazards, while noise and heat stress were the most identified health-related hazards. However, several participants reported that no hazards were present in some of the scenarios evaluated. Risk perception showed high scores in knowledge, avoidability and controllability while dread and vulnerability scores were low. Safety climate scores were positive and moderately correlated with several risk perception dimensions. Findings can be used to improve practices regarding risk perception and hazard recognition.
