Description
The current application of Positive Perfromance Indicators (PPI's) in the construction industry largely measures numbers of disparate safety activities. Generally they are seen by industry as not providing generalizable indicators of safety effectiveness and uptake by industry has been generally poor. This paper outlines a new concept of Safety Effectiveness Indicators (SEI's) which incorporate desired safety behaviours as necessary elements of safety culture and safety performance.
Impact and interest:
Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.
These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.
Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
