Abstract: Abstract Based on the analysis of the cause of the accidents, nearly 90 % of the safety accidents are derived from the worker’s unsafe behaviors. Therefore, it is imperative to improve their safety consciousness and behaviors. Through investigating the construction sites in Nanjing, Xuzhou and Taizhou, this paper makes an in-depth analysis of the determinants of security behaviors. Consequently, theoretical assumptions are made, followed by the validation via the SEM analysis. Results show that Man factors, Method factors and Management factors have significant impacts on safety behaviors of migrant workers in the construction industry.
