CII Corporate Safety Benchmarking
Since 1989, CII has been tracking safety performance for the purpose of helping our members understand their safety performance.
The annual CII Safety Survey was designed to collect capital project data from construction owners and contractors, making this information available in a confidential, aggregated format to enable corporate-level benchmarking. Results are published annually in the CII Safety Summary Report.
All data provided are treated as "company confidential." These data will not be communicated in any form to any party other than to CII. Any data or analyses based on these data that are shared with others or published will represent summaries of data from multiple organizations participating in the survey which have been aggregated in a way that will preclude the identification of proprietary data and the specific performance of individual organizations.
