Good management usually extends to many parts of a construction project, and the link between craft worker safety and quality construction is strong and gradually being confirmed in academic studies. What approaches are the most promising that address both quality and safety? What are contractors doing that helps them decrease their rate of re-work as well as their safety-related incidents? What are the possible pitfalls of linking these two complicated aspects of construction?
ENR’s panel of experts will discuss the way successes in management blend the typical goals of quality management, such as compliance with design and meeting customer expectations, with the reduction and elimination of accidents and near-misses.
Learning Objectives:
1. Identify the basic common elements that impact both quality and safety on a construction project
2. Assess the status of scholarly research linking job site quality management and job site safety
3. Explain the advantages of prefabrication and off-site work in meeting quality and safety goals
4. Determine how smaller employers can interconnect programs to limit rework and achieve zero safety incidents
