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

Moving beyond TRIR: Measuring and monitoring safety performance with high-energy control assessments

Another post on SIFs, this time the High Energy Control Assessments (HECA) from Oguz Erkal & Hallowell. Link to article below, plus to a HECA guide, and to the SIF compendium. Extracts: ·        HECA is “the percentage of high-energy hazards with a corresponding direct control” ·        HECA is binary because “every condition observation is modeled only as… Continue reading Moving beyond TRIR: Measuring and monitoring safety performance with high-energy control assessments
