The Institute for Sustainable Work and Environment and the Utility Workers Union of America worked with a professional evaluator to design, implement, and evaluate the results of a union-led system of safety-based hazard identification program that trained workers to use hazard maps to identify workplace hazards and target them for elimination. The evaluation documented program implementation and impact using data collected from both qualitative interviews and an on-line survey from worker trainers, plant managers, and health and safety staff. Managers and workers reported that not only were many dangerous hazards eliminated as a result of hazard mapping, some of which were long-standing, difficult-to-resolve issues, but the evaluation also documented improved communication between union members and management that both workers and managers agreed resulted in better, more sustainable hazard elimination.
可持续工作与环境研究所和美国公用事业工人联盟与一名专业评估人员合作，设计、实施并评估了一个由工会主导的基于安全的危害识别计划系统的结果，该计划培训工人使用危害地图来识别工作场所的危害并将其作为消除目标。评估使用从定性访谈以及对工人培训师、工厂经理和健康与安全人员的在线调查中收集的数据记录了该计划的实施情况和影响。经理和工人报告称，由于危害地图，不仅消除了许多危险危害，其中一些还是长期存在、难以解决的问题，而且评估还记录了工会成员与管理层之间沟通的改善，工人和经理都认为这带来了更好、更可持续的危害消除效果。
