中国的脚手架工人不使用安全带是很常见的，尽管脚手架工人经常在建筑工地上暴露于坠落危险中，而且法律要求使用安全安全带。通过理论分析和实证检验，探讨了我国脚手架工人不使用安全带的原因。在理论分析中，根据萨里的模型，脚手架人员没有使用安全吊带的主要原因被确定为他们个人决定不使用安全吊带。计划行为理论(TPB)被用来分析为什么脚手架工人决定不使用安全吊带。在实证测试中，7个工地的棚架工人完成了根据城规会编制的问卷，9名安全主任参加了焦点小组会议，收集他们对棚架工人使用安全吊带的意见。此外，还采访了两名脚手架工人、一名工头、一名安全员和一名工头，以验证问卷调查的结果。实证检验结果表明，使用安全吊带的不便和不适、低估了不使用安全吊带的风险、来自帮派头目、工头和安全人员的负面压力以及缺乏安全线是脚手架人员决定不使用安全吊带的原因。根据经验测试结果，提出了加强安全吊带使用的措施。
Chinese scaffolders not using safety harnesses is commonplace, despite scaffolders being constantly exposed to fall hazards on construction sites and the use of safety harnesses being required by law. The causes of Chinese scaffolders not using safety harnesses are explored through theoretical analyses and empirical tests. In theoretical analyses, based on Surry’s model, the major cause of scaffolders not using safety harnesses was identified as their personal decisions not to do so. The theory of planned behaviour (TPB) was used to analyse why scaffolders decided not to use safety harnesses. In empirical tests, scaffolders on seven sites completed questionnaires developed based on TPB, and nine safety officers participated in a focus group meeting to collect their views on scaffolders’ use of safety harnesses. In addition, two scaffolders, one gangmaster, one safety officer, and one foreman were interviewed to verify the results of the questionnaire survey. Empirical tests results show that the inconvenience and discomfort of using safety harnesses, underestimating the risk of not using safety harnesses, negative pressures from gangmasters, foremen, and safety officers, and lack of safety lines are causes of scaffolders deciding not to use safety harnesses. Measures enhancing the use of safety harnesses are proposed based on the results of empirical tests.
