Key Findings from Research: Analyzing Prequalification Surveys Used in Construction

• Description:
  The construction industry uses prequalification surveys to select quality subcontractors and reduce risk of injuries on projects. Historically, prequalification surveys look at indicators such as injury rates and insurance measures, but organizational policies, programs and practices-often referred to collectively as leading indicators-are becoming of interest. This study reviewed 52 prequalification surveys currently in use to identify best practices and gaps between survey metrics and leading indicators. To evaluate the surveys, a document hierarchy was created: the top level of the hierarchy included safety management system policies and procedures, with subsequent levels looking at specific safety programs or work instructions and then safety outcomes or records.
