We describe the development and pilot testing of the St. Louis Assessment of Fall Risks, a worksite audit to assess fall prevention safety practices on residential construction sites. Surveillance data and feedback from carpenters and safety instructors regarding work tasks associated with falls from heights were used to develop the audit instrument. The audit focuses on the framing process, including general safety climate/housekeeping, floor joist/sub-floor installation, walking surfaces/edges, wall openings, truss setting, roof sheathing, ladders, scaffolds, and personal fall arrest equipment. The audit was tested at sixteen residential construction sites, documenting excellent inter-rater reliability (kappa = 0.93). Results suggest that the audit has good face and content validity and is a reliable instrument for measuring fall safety risks at residential construction sites. It is practical, easy, and safe to administer, making it a potentially useful instrument for field research as well as regular safety monitoring by foremen and crew.
我们描述了《圣路易斯跌倒风险评估》的开发及试点测试情况,这是一项用于评估住宅建筑工地预防跌倒安全措施的工作场所审计。利用来自木匠和安全指导员的监测数据以及关于与高处坠落相关工作任务的反馈来开发审计工具。该审计聚焦于框架搭建过程,包括总体安全氛围/现场清理、地板托梁/底层地板安装、行走表面/边缘、墙壁开口、桁架安装、屋面覆盖层、梯子、脚手架以及个人坠落防护设备。该审计在16个住宅建筑工地进行了测试,记录显示评分者间信度极高(kappa = 0.93)。结果表明,该审计具有良好的表面效度和内容效度,是测量住宅建筑工地跌倒安全风险的可靠工具。它实施起来实用、简便且安全,使其成为实地研究以及工长和施工人员进行定期安全监测的潜在有用工具。
