A mixed-methods study on risk perception and safety practices among unorganized construction workers in a municipal area of West Bengal.

Background: The construction industry in India heavily relies on unorganized workers, who often lack adequate access to safety measures, placing them at significant risk of accidents and injuries. The objective was to determine risk perceptions of construction workers, and explore their safety practices, facilitators, and barriers.

Methods: A mixed-methods approach with a convergent parallel design (QUAN + qual) was undertaken.
