Abstract
Key Findings
The research identifies five high-impact safety techniques that have the greatest influence on achieving zero injury safety performance and the most effective sub-elements associated with each. In decreasing order of importance, these are: (RS32-1, p. 3)
- Safety Pre-Project/Pre-Task Planning
- Safety Training/Orientation
- Safety Incentives
- Alcohol/Substance Abuse Program
- Accident & Incident Investigation
All surveyed projects had implemented a common base of safety techniques. Of the 170 important safety techniques identified in the literature survey, the following was revealed: (RS32-1, p. 6)
- No project used all 170 of the techniques
- All projects used in some combination at least 114 of the 170 techniques
Research data showed that quantity of time spent on selected safety techniques is not as important as the quality of time spent. Even more important, in an evolving safety program, the selection of the specific safety techniques on which to spend time becomes more crucial than the overall time spent. (RS32-1, p. 6)
