Best Safety Project - Central Washington Hospital Patient Tower
Using a worker-to-worker observation program that paired up two different trades to study the crew's work on the $117-million Central Washington Hospital Patient Tower in Wenatchee, Wash., the team logged 489,934 man-hours without a lost-time accident.
Gene Hodge, director of project development at Mortenson Construction, Kirkland, Wash., says that the worker-to-worker program focuses heavily on moving jobsite cultures from "those of compliance to those of choice."
