The field of construction is one of the most traumatic areas of human activity. Various methods are used to reduce injuries and increase the safety level at construction sites, which do not allow to reduce the level of injury risk. In other industries characterized by heightened danger, the risk management methodology based on the “human factor” management is gaining popularity. By attracting the most relevant workers, we can compensate for a significant portion of the risks. The authors propose the use this concept in the field of construction. In this paper, a study of professional fitness in construction during work requiring an increased level of attention and reaction under the influence of noise factor was conducted. For this purpose, testing was per-formed to identify the dependencies between the external effects of noise and attention indicators. During the testing the subjects demonstrated various concentration abilities. We concluded that, using this methodology, it is possible to select “successfully fit” personnel to perform specific tasks in construction, in order to increase the level of safety.
