| description | Despite the measures in recent years taken in the prevention of occupational risks in Spain, accidents and illnesses caused by work continue to occur and the construction sector is one of the most affected. In this article, based on empirical research, I intend to approach the difficulties that arise when adopting preventive measures. I start from the idea that in work environments are generated a set of customs, values and ideas and feed back to society in general, resulting in cultures of work. Analizing, among other things, the role that ideas such as risk, health, random, masculinity, comfort or discomfort, has in assume or reject preventive measures as well as in risk taking. |

Riesgo trabajo construcción cultura prevención Despite the measures in recent years taken in the prevention of occupational risks in Spain, accidents and illnesses caused by work continue to occur and the construction sector is one of the most affected. In this article, based on empirical research, I intend to approach the difficulties that arise when adopting preventive measures. I start from the idea that in work environments are generated a set of customs, values and ideas and feed back to society in general, resulting in cultures of work. Analizing, among other things, the role that ideas such as risk, health, random, masculinity, comfort or discomfort, has in assume or reject preventive measures as well as in risk taking. A pesar de la medidas que desde hace unos años se adoptan para evitar los riesgos laborales en España, los accidentes y enfermedades producidos por el trabajo siguen ocurriendo y el sector de la construcción es uno de los más afectados. En este artículo, basado en una investigación empírica, pretendemos aproximarnos a las dificultades que se presentan a la hora de adoptar las medidas de prevención. Partimos de la idea de que en los entornos laborales, se genera un conjunto de costumbres, valores e ideas y se retroalimentan con la sociedad en general, dando lugar a las culturas del trabajo. Analizamos, entre otros aspectos, el papel que conceptos como el riesgo, salud, azar, masculinidad, comodidad o incomodidad, tienen a la hora de asumir o rechazar las medidas preventivas, así como en la asunción de riesgos.
