CONSTRUCTION SAFETY REPORTING


We have been consistently better than target on contractor injuiries and with continued effort have reduced those to “0” in April 2019.

Since June 2018, there have been 165 accidents that have led to contractor employee injuries. The top injuries sustained continue to be attributed to struck against/struck by, and slip, trip and fall.

CONSTRUCTION SAFETY REPORTING


• Serious Injury or Fatality precursors (SIFp) is defined as a high risk situation that could have resulted in a serious or fatal injury if not for certain barriers or countermeasures.

• Since May 2018, there have been 104 incidents that were identified as SIFp.

Of the 104 SIFp incidents the most frequent occurrences were due to the following root causes; • 25% of SIFs (18) were due to Procedural Non-Compliance • 19% of SIFs (14) were result of unsafe site conditions or poor housekeeping • 18% of SIFs (13) were caused due to Environmental Conditions • 14% of SIFs (10) were Equipment Related • 13% of SIFs (9) were vehicle related
