The present study describes a response to eight tragic deaths over an eighteen month times span on a fast track construction project on the largest commercial development project in U.S. history.
Four versions of a survey were distributed to workers, foremen, superintendents, and senior management. In addition to standard Likert-scale safety climate scale items, an open-ended item was included at the end of the survey.
Safety climate perceptions differed by job level. Specifically, management perceived a more positive safety climate as compared to workers. Content analysis of the open-ended item was used to identify important safety and health concerns which might have been overlooked with the qualitative portion of the survey.
The surveys were conducted to understand workforce issues of concern with the aim of improving site safety conditions. Such efforts can require minimal investment of resources and time and result in critical feedback for developing interventions affecting organizational structure, management processes, and communication.
The most important lesson learned was that gauging differences in perception about site safety can provide critical feedback at all levels of a construction organization.
Implementation of multi-level organizational perception surveys can identify major safety issues of concern. Feedback, if acted upon, can potentially result in fewer injuries and fatal events.
本研究描述了在美国历史上最大的商业开发项目的快速通道建设项目中，在十八个月的时间内发生了八起悲惨死亡事件后的应对措施。
向工人、工头、主管和高级管理人员分发了四份调查版本。除了标准的李克特量表安全氛围量表项目外，调查结束时还包括一个开放式项目。
安全氛围感知因工作级别而异。具体来说，与工人相比，管理层对安全氛围的感知更为积极。对开放式项目的内容分析用于确定可能被调查的定性部分忽略的重要安全和健康问题。
进行这些调查是为了了解员工关注的问题，目的是改善现场安全状况。这种努力可以最小化资源和时间的投入，并为影响组织结构、管理流程和沟通的干预措施的制定提供关键反馈。
最重要的教训是，衡量对现场安全的感知差异可以为建筑组织的各个层面提供关键反馈。
实施多层次组织感知调查可以确定主要关注的安全问题。如果采取行动，反馈可能会导致受伤和死亡事件减少。
