Researchers reported results of two key studies—one on using real-time technology to reduce the danger of working around construction equipment and another on the impact of project-site leadership on safety—to the Construction Industry Institute’s annual conference held Aug. 4-5 in Orlando, Fla.
Several safety-related topics were discussed at the event, including technology-based safety, which members and academics are researching in an effort to improve impressively low but stagnating incident rates. The rate for CII member firms has hovered around 0.60 for several years.
