Workers in the Canadian construction and extractive industries (CEIs) are exposed to psychosocial risk factors (PRFs) and experience a greater prevalence of mental health issues than the public. Managing PRFs requires the use of risk management theory; however, there is little research on PRFs in the Canadian CEIs, especially as it relates to workers' views. The problem is that the lack of knowledge of the importance of PRFs, from the perspective of Canadian CEI workers, is impairing effective risk management and having a deleterious effect on workers' mental health. The purpose of this quantitative, nonexperimental, correlational study was to examine the relationship between five demographic control factors of age, gender, residence type, employment arrangement, and rotation status, and 15 measures of Canadian CEI workers' perspective of PRFs using the theoretical foundation of risk management theory. Using a cross-sectional design, a 90-question survey was administered to 174 workers over the age of 18 to obtain demographic data and scores for the PRFs using the Copenhagen Psychosocial Questionnaire - Canadian version. Analysis of variance was used to compare means across groups to determine if there is a difference in views of PRFs. The findings revealed that while workers' experiences are largely unique, there is often a stark difference between the experiences of workers based on age, gender, and employment arrangement. The study helps to provide a more complete assessment of the nature of PRFs within the CEIs and could help leaders to establish more effective risk management strategies for the betterment of workers, employers, and the broader communities in which they live and operate.
