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

‘They didn’t do anything wrong! What will I talk about?’ Applying the principles of cognitive task analysis to debriefing positive performance
An interesting paper exploring the use of Safety-II inspired debriefs, learning from successful performance. They used cognitive task analysis techniques. Not a summary, but it’s open access and really brief – so check it out 👍 Extracts: · “simulation cases are often deliberately designed to push learners to their zone of proximal development .. where perfect… Continue reading ‘They didn’t do anything wrong! What will I talk about?’ Applying the principles of cognitive task analysis to debriefing positive performance
Effectiveness of training in reducing accidents in construction companies
This study evaluated the impact of construction safety training on accident rates in Spanish industry. Data from 1,283 Spanish construction companies over 11 years were analysed. They studied the effects of training in the same year of the accident, and the prior three years. I’m not really sure what to make of these findings –… Continue reading Effectiveness of training in reducing accidents in construction companies
Hazard identification performance comparison between virtual reality and traditional construction safety training modes for different learning style individuals.
This new study may interest people – it compared hazard identification performance between VR and traditional construction safety training. They also compared the results to different learning styles (which I’ve skipped). Key findings: · “both traditional and VR training can improve the efficiency of visual search during individual hazard identification, increase hazard identification accuracy by individuals,… Continue reading Hazard identification performance comparison between virtual reality and traditional construction safety training modes for different learning style individuals.
