Safety pros urged to get involved with construction contracts
They can engineer out safety problems before project starts
A recent survey of construction and safety professionals highlights the need to include safety management in the earliest phases of construction contracts, according to the authors of an article in this month’s Professional Safety, the journal of the American Society of Safety Engineers (ASSE).
The survey was aimed at identifying the most common contract issues related to safety management and the frequency and severity of contract issues relative to worker safety on construction sites.
