Public Works Construction Safety Project. Case Studies

摘要

Case studies of three public works construction projects were reviewed (MarylandState Highway Administration Construction, the Denver Airport Project, and the Boston Harbor Project) which took into consideration historical risk of worker fatalities, the levels of worker risk, adequacy of safety standards, and examples of how worker safety was enhanced either through heightened compliance strategies or government involvement or enhanced contractor worker safety policies and programs. These three projects provided evidence that enlightened policies and programs can make an important difference to safety and health of construction workers on public works projects.
