• Description:
  The goal of this study was to select an approach for scoring and rewarding worker safety performance on construction sites based on leading indicators. Using data derived from safety audits performed at Harvard construction sites over a 19 month period, researchers grouped them by owner, general contractor, project, trade and subcontractor and determined median scores. They then explored different ways to establish incentive thresholds that would be seen by workers as fair, consistent and compelling, concluding that using the ownerspecific approach and a threshold value of 96.3% best met the program criteria.
