• Description:
  In the area of safety, construction companies still rely too much on the number and types of injuries that have already occurred rather than on how to prevent them in the first place. A leading indicator is a measure that precedes injuries and can be used to plan activities that, when properly implemented, prevent injuries and illnesses and foster a positive jobsite safety climate. This workbook is designed to help management and safety professionals learn more about eight leading indicators and how to strengthen them to improve jobsite safety climate and safety outcomes for construction businesses. The eight leading indicators are: #1 Demonstrating management commitment; #2 Aligning and integrating safety as a value; #3 Ensuring accountability at all levels; #4 Improving supervisory leadership; #5 Empowering and involving employees; #6 Improving communication; #7 Training at all levels; and #8 Encouraging owner/client involvement.
