Cultural Significance of On-Site Construction Objects: An In-depth Examination

Abstract

Culture has many meanings and synonyms in Polish - so we can talk about good manners, savoir-vivre rules, social refinement or politeness. Most people intuitively know how to behave in situations outside of work. In recent years, there has also been increasing talk about culture in the workplace. This is particularly important in the construction industry at a time when new forms of employment are emerging and many organizations are undergoing restructuring processes. This causes e.g. high turnover of staff, employing more contract workers, frequent changes in the working environment, as well as performing work on various construction sites. In such cases, the direct and long-term impact of supervision on maintaining safe and cultured working conditions becomes increasingly limited, and all construction workers should take responsibility and adopt an attitude of active and continuous care for the culture and safety of their behavior and others, and be personally involved in the process of shaping cultural and safe attitudes on construction sites. The article defines culture and proposes its use on construction sites.
