Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate how the attitude to close call reporting around construction workers and officials. Method: Through a survey to constructions workers and interviews with officials, the attitude and knowledge about close call reporting have been compiled and evaluated. Results: The survey showed that the knowledge about the purpose of why close calls should be reported is missing at many construction workers and that many of them lack knowledge of what a close call stands for. The survey and interviews also showed that close call reporting is not prioritized because of attitude and lack of time. Conclusions: To improve incident reporting, the supervisory staff has to ensure that skilled workers know what close calls are. The main contractor should either require that all subcontractors have the knowledge about close calls when they start in the workplace or that this is reviewed at enrollment. This requires clearer enrollments in the projects and to maintain the reporting, more commitment from the management is required.
