Kasus COVID-19 di Indonesia hingga April 2021 mencapai 1.668.368 dengan angka kematian mencapai 45.334. Meningkatnya kasus kematian akibat COVID-19 di seluruh dunia dan adanya 14 karyawan yang terpapar COVID-19 di wilayah kerja proyek ini secara khusus menjadi latar belakang dilakukannya penelitian ini. Penelitian ini bertujuan mengetahui hubungan faktor individu terhadap persepsi risiko pada karyawan proyek LRT PT X terhadap COVID-19 selama April-Mei 2021. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa berdasarkan faktor individunya, komposisi responden terdiri atas responden pria (83,3%), 56,7% responden berusia 20–30 tahun, berpendidikan Sarjana (58,3%), belum pernah terjangkit COVID-19 (88,3%), dan tidak memiliki penyakit kronis (100%). Secara keseluruhan, mayoritas tingkat persepsi risiko responden adalah tinggi (51,7%; n=62), dan sebanyak 48,3% (n=58) memiliki tingkat persepsi risiko rendah. Hasil analisis persepsi risiko menunjukkan bahwa faktor usia memiliki hubungan signifikan terhadap tingkat persepsi risiko, tingkat pengetahuan, potensi dampak, kesiapan dan efikasi diri, ketakutan, keparahan, dan kesukarelaan risiko. Faktor jenis kelamin berhubungan secara signifikan dengan kesiapan dan efikasi diri, kebaruan, dan keparahan. Faktor tingkat pendidikan diketahui memiliki hubungan signifikan dengan semua variabel persepsi risiko. Berbeda dengan faktor riwayat COVID-19 yang berhubungan signifikan dengan variabel tingkat pengetahuan, control over risk, dan kebaruan.
