Summary on Grant Application Form |
|
The planning for the performance of construction work processes involves contractor project management personnel and construction operatives, each of who perform different roles. A panel of experts will identify construction safety best practices for five hazardous construction activities. Simulations will be conducted in ten construction organizations to determine the effectiveness and completeness of work process planning for safety and health that is done separately by contractor project management personnel and construction operatives and by a joint planning effort. A questionnaire will be administered to participants in the simulations to determine their perceptions of the work planning process. The roles of contractor project management personnel and construction operatives in the planning process will be determined as will the issues that are most appropriately by each of the parties.
