Description
Emphasizes how management of insurance coverage reduces premiums up to 80 percent; includes worksheets and step-by-step information to help both owners and contractors calculate cost of injury, and to implement a zero injury management program.

Description
Facility owners are vital parties in the construction process as they provide the funds to sustain the construction effort and they generally own the property on which the construction takes place. CII research has shown that owners play more than a peripheral role in the area of safety.

This presentation describes the various ways in which owners influence safety performance on construction sites. This influence begins with contractor selection and continues throughout the construction process. Thus, construction safety begins and ends with the owner.

This one-hour DVD captures a live web seminar where Dr. Jimmie Hinze (University of Florida) explores how the owner’s involvement influences construction worker safety.

Description
The use of effective measures of safety performance is vital to the continued success of many construction firms and required by top owner firms. Traditional downstream indicators provide information too late, after injuries have already occurred.

A new approach to measuring safety performance is needed. Consideration must be given to developing indicators that show when safety performance is declining, so interventions can be imposed before injuries are sustained.

This one-hour DVD captures a live web seminar where Dr. Jimmie Hinze (University of Florida) explores the many types of leading indicators and how they can be developed for every aspect of a safety program.

Description
Goes beyond research on zero injury techniques. Looks at the implementation details of programs that are designed to prevent specific types of injuries, the target safety programs. Presents the Target Safety Template and describes the nine steps involved in developing a successful target safety program.

Description

This course covers ten specific areas of safety emphasis followed by a summary and conclusions:

1. The seriousness of the safety problem in the construction industry will be described through the industry injury statistics and by examining the impacts of both minor and serious injuries.
2. The causes of injuries will be examined from various perspectives with insights of how injuries can be prevented.
3. The effectiveness of demonstrated management commitment to safety, effective safety staffing of projects and the importance of planning to safety will be described.
4. Emphasis will be given to the importance of training and education, the importance of involving worker in the safety process and the need to provide proper recognition for the workers.
5. Subcontractor safety management, accident/incident reporting and investigations, and drug/alcohol testing will be described in terms of their impact on safety performance.
6. Delivering safe outage or shutdown projects will be examined from the perspective of people resourcing, planning, scheduling and contract formation.
7. The role of the facility owner on project performance will be described in terms of contractor selection, contractual requirements, and the active involvement of the owner during the construction process.
8. The role of designers will be described to demonstrate the importance of making careful decisions during the design phase to ensure the safety and well being of the construction workforce.
9. The upstream or leading indicators of safety performance will be examined in relation to their effectiveness in predicting or determining safety performance that is not possible with lagging indicators.
10. The various safety techniques will be examined from an implementation point of view to put knowledge to practice.

Education modules are not available for download from the Internet.

Description
Presents in dramatic fashion the story of an executive of a construction firm who makes a decision to see that his company adopts a “zero injury” philosophy.

Description
Describes the nature and extent of the owners’ influence on project safety performance. The study focuses on proven safety management techniques that lead to improved safety performance. Suggests ways that owners can be proactive and provide leadership toward the goal of zero injuries.

Description
A follow-on effort to the original CII zero accidents study, this research identifies current key topics in safety that can improve safety performance. The study examines practices used by large construction firms, but the techniques can help all involved in construction to achieve the zero injury objective.
