ABSTRACT

This study aims to analyze the opinion about occupational safety in the design and use of formwork/falsework from formwork/falsework manufacturing companies’ professionals.

2 METHODOLOGY

A Likert-scale questionnaire (Likert 1932), was designed in order to collect the opinion from the expert selected. Likert scale questionnaire has been demonstrated as a very useful tool in previous papers about occupational health and safety in construction (Ismail et al., 2011, Gittleman et al., 2011, Melia et al., 2008) this is the main reason of the application of this methodology in the present work.
