Popis: The current study documented worker ratings of visibility on common pieces of construction equipment. Participants (n = 57) were recruited from a health and safety training facility to complete a custom visibility survey. Visibility scores around the machinery were consistently ranked lower by participants who reported working around the machine, as opposed to being an operator. Discrepancies between visibility rankings reported by workers who work around machinery and operators may indicate an area of priority for safety training to improve visibility knowledge among all workers.
