Umar, Tariq and Wamuziri, Sam (2017) Briefing: Using 'safety climate factors' to improve construction safety. Proceedings of the Institution of Civil Engineers - Municipal Engineer, 170(2), pp. 65-67. ISSN (print) 0965-0903

Abstract

This briefing discusses the health and safety problems in the construction industry. The focus is on safety performance improvement by using ‘safety climate factors’. Construction organisations can assess their safety climate factors by using a safety climate questionnaire and can develop plans for improved safety performance. The outcomes of assessing a safety climate can be regarded as the predictors or indicators of safety performance. This can be used by construction organisations to address the weak areas associated with safety climate.
