Description:CPWR has collaborated with Dodge Data & Analytics to conduct a biennial online Construction Safety Management Survey (CSMS) using Dodge’s member contractor panel (~3,000) since 2012. The most recent survey was conducted in 2017. Besides continuing to track a wide variety of practices in safety management and safety culture among construction companies, the 2017 survey collected information on emerging issues, such as the awareness and practice of Prevention through Design (PtD) and the use of new technologies to improve safety (Dodge Data &Analytics, 2017). A total of 334 construction firms completed this survey.
Information on the union status of a company was collected for the first time in the 2017 CSMS. Respondents were asked whether their company employed union workers. Union status plays an important role in workplace safety and health (Amick et al., 2015
Mahan et al., 2018
Mahan et al., 2013
Okun et al., 2017
Verma, 2015
Yi et al., 2011). To better understand the potential union effect on occupational safety and health in the construction industry, in this Quarterly Data Report we compared the differences in safety management and safety culture between union and non-union construction firms by analyzing the 2017 CSMS data.
