Mine workers operate heavy equipment while experiencing varying psychological and physiological impacts caused by fatigue. The implication of the findings is that very strong safety outcomes can be expected if contractors build upon a robust safety management foundation with the use of these methods of project safety control. Use of these indicators has been connected to exceptional safety performance in industry-leading organizations. In total, over 50 proactive metrics were identified, 13 of which were selected as top priority by expert professionals. To produce internally and externally valid and reliable results, data were triangulated from case studies, content analysis of award-winning projects, and focused discussions among construction safety experts. A mixed-methods research approach was used to (1)clearly identify and define elements of the safety management process that can be measured and monitored during the construction phase, (2)describe resource requirements for measurement, monitoring, and response, and (3)describe specific management actions required when any indicator fails to satisfy a desired value. Despite the potential benefits of such strategies, few have been identified in the literature and there has yet to be an organized effort to codify and investigate these methods.
Alternatively, safety-related practices can be measured during the construction phase to trigger positive responses before an injury occurs. Traditionally, safety has been measured and managed reactively, where actions are taken in response to adverse trends in injuries. When constructing and updating the built environment, ensuring the safety of all parties involved is of utmost importance.
