Abstract :
    The number of accidents while working in the civil engineering industry is the highest among all industries. Training on safety issues while working and trying to raise the safety culture among civil engineering professionals has always been a matter of interest to researchers and government officials. According to the existing regulations in Iran, all persons employed in civil workshops must have completed safety training courses and received certification. The lack of safety courses in the academic disciplines and the lack of integrity in the subjects of the training courses and the lack of validity of many of the certificates issued by public and official centers are problems that need to be addressed. Using social media, television and radio as the most visited and accessible means of communication can have a huge impact on reminders of the need to observe safety and enhance safety culture.
