3F   Health & Safety Performance Metrics in the Construction Industry (Intermediate)
Janie Gittleman – CPWR

Performance metrics are a way of measuring an organization’s effectinvess in reaching critical goals. Metrics are designed to drive improvement and characterize progress made. NIOSH, in collabora-tion with CPWR and MNOSHA Consultation, conducted a pilot study to identify qualitative and quantitative performance metrics on safety and health for the construction industry, which were then rated by small-to-large construction firms. The presentation gives the process and results – a starting point for development of metrics for construction safety and health.
