The Surprises in AGCs New Study of Construction Fatalities

The Surprises in AGCs New Study of Construction Fatalities

The AGC report recommends that prime contractors take the lead in instilling a safety culture among their subcontractors. Potential actions include conveying risks and requirements in company communication and training to ensure that all safety policies and procedures are fully understood and followed.


Mark Hoffman, H&S Director for Rudolph 蹤獲扦 Inc., part of 蹤獲扦, Walbridge, Ohio, says hell often strike up a conversation with a subcontractors operations person or general superintendent, asking if they can explain their safety program or talk about things theyre doing differently from last year.

If they can, thats a good sign, Hoffman says. It means the contractor is committed and engaged in the process.

A response along the lines of talk to my safety director, on the other hand, shows they dont have the right culture to fit in with us, he adds.

Noon is the peak time for fatalities, countering previous research that placed the majority of fatal accidents in the morning.

When you think about it, that makes sense, observes Hoffman. Thats when employees are coming back to work and probably still distracted by what they were doing or talking about on break.

Thats one of the reasons Hoffmans firm conducts a second daily pretask planning session, complementing the one held at the start of the workday.

We engage the employees and get them focused back on work, he says. It takes only a few minutes, but we feel theyre better prepared to get back on the job safely.

"Were not competitors when it comes to safety. We should all be out there helping each other."
