Development of a Certification Procedure for Construction Industry Supervisors.

摘要

This study was conducted to determine whether construction foremen/first-line supervisors would be motivated to gain more occupational safety and health knowledge by using voluntary incentive procedure (e.g.,hard hat decal, 'certificate of recognition,'etc.). On the basis of a job analysis, a content domain was determined as the basis for the Construction Safety and Health Awareness Checklist (a 30-item multiple-choice measure with alternate firms). This Checklist was administered to foremen from residential,industrial and highway subgroups of the construction industry in Washington, D.C.;Houston,Texas;and Seattle,Washington. A self-administered set of general and specific items is discussed as being most feasible.
