Objects Standard we've helped draft, we found our non-shock absorbing tetoron polyester webbing delivered superior test results," said Brent Velenchenko, product specialist,
said that contractors who use the association's
Safety Performance Evaluation Process (STEP) can make their companies up to 670% safer than the industry average and reduce reportable safety incidents by 85%.
Despite initiatives like STEP, some construction industry safety organizations have reported distressing safety statistics recently.
In December, the CPWR also reported that more than
800 construction workers between 2011 and 2015 were killed in struck-by accidents.
Nearly 18% of those fatalities died from being hit by a vehicle. The CPWR found that
almost 60% of those workers died in a construction work zone. Of those workers killed by something other than a vehicle, 51% died from being hit by falling objects or equipment.
The coroner's inquest into the death of construction worker John Francis Smith returned eight recommendations from jurors concerning safety equipment, practices and education.
John Smith was 37 when he died after falling 21 feet from the peak of the roof of a cottage
he was helping to build on Percy Lake, north of Haliburton. He was
not wearing a fall
prevention harness, nor was he wearing a hard hat or work boots.
