Profiling health and safety risk associated with construction projects at the pre-construction stage

Manu, Patrick

Abstract

This book chapter in "Valuing People in Construction" (edited by Emuze, F. and Smallwood, J.) presents an assessment of the degree of H&S risk associated with construction project features (CPFs) and the subsequent development of a simple tool (nicknamed, “CRiMT”) for profiling the H&S risk of construction projects. The main highlight of the chapter is that: the CPFs examined are generally associated with medium risk or high risk implying a medium likelihood or a high likelihood of occurrence of accident/harm where such features apply on projects. CRiMT provides a simple and sound means by which project participants (e.g. clients and their design and project management teams) can ascertain the H&S risk associated with a project at pre-construction, and to also consider relevant risk controls.
