Would two construction experts see the same SIF threat on the same site? This study from Frank Benin, Sid Bhandari & Matthew Hallowell evaluated how 19 construction experts perceive the likelihood of SIFs during routine work and how confident they were in those assessments. Assessments were sought via 3 work site scenario photos (so note… Continue reading Differences in SIF Risk Perceptions among Construction Experts

Balanced approach to serious injury and fatality prevention: Exploring empirical relationships between short and long-term measures of safety performance
What tells you more about tomorrow’s fatality risk – last month’s injury rate or today’s control of high-energy hazards? An interesting study Arnaldo Bayona & Matthew Hallowell and colleagues exploring the relationship between assessments of pre-job safety brief (PJSB) quality and HECA (high-energy control assessments) and work conditions, and links with injury and SIFs. Not… Continue reading Balanced approach to serious injury and fatality prevention: Exploring empirical relationships between short and long-term measures of safety performance
Safe As week in review: 25, 26, 27 – value of high-risk procedures, direct risk controls, and fatigue vs alcohol intoxication
Safe As week in review: 25: Image 1 – This study found more experienced workers more likely to depart from procedures, and “adherence to procedures is often motivated by potential liability issues instead of genuine concerns for safety in organizations and many deviations from procedures were due to pressure from immediate supervisors”.

Impact of Energy-Based Safety Training on Quality of Prejob Safety Meetings and Control of Hazardous Energy in Construction: Multiple Baseline Experiment
This study explored the role of energy-based safety training on the quality of the prestart meetings. Method was a multiple baseline assessment on 10 construction crews in the US and Canada following the training intervention, then measuring the prejob safety brief quality and HECA (High Energy Control Assessment). Background: · Construction accounts for about 7%… Continue reading Impact of Energy-Based Safety Training on Quality of Prejob Safety Meetings and Control of Hazardous Energy in Construction: Multiple Baseline Experiment
