Abstract: Abstract Off-site construction is one of the most dangerous industrial sectors, which involve many types of safety risks influencing on health and safety of human beings. So far, construction workers’ unsafe behaviours have been recognized as the major cause of accidents in the construction workplaces. However, as there are few studies on safety behaviour in off-site manufacturing plants, the reason why construction workers have involved in unsafe behaviours and accidents is still unknown and workers’ unsafe behaviours still exist in the construction workplaces. Therefore, there’s a need for a better understanding on how construction workers have involved in unsafe behaviours and accidents in the off-site manufacturing plants. The aim of this research is to develop a conceptual framework of off-site construction workers’ safety behaviour, which captures the main factors that play a significant role in workers’ safety behaviour. The model’s value lies in its ability to explain the pathway of safety behaviour and the impacts of the crucial factors on safety behaviour in the off-site manufacturing plants and it will also contribute to the continuing work on the theory of planned behaviour.
