Abstract

The health and safety maturity of 20 sustainable building projects and 21 non-sustainable ones in Manitoba was evaluated using a Sustainable Health and Safety Maturity Model comprising 22 safety maturity drivers and 251 critical to safety practices assessed via a questionnaire survey. Sustainable building projects were found to have a higher level of health and safety maturity than that of the non-sustainable ones. Larger-sized companies were found to implement more mature health and safety practices on their sustainable building and non-sustainable building projects than smaller and medium sized companies. The safety maturity drivers of “safety policy and standard implementation,” “safety inspections” and “incident investigation, reporting and performance” were the most mature on sustainable building and non-sustainable building projects whereas “designing for safety,” and “alcohol and drug testing” were the least mature. General contractors can use the maturity model to evaluate and improve their projects’ health and safety maturity. Safety practitioners can also focus efforts on the safety maturity drivers with the highest influence to help enhance the effectiveness of their safety programs, especially when faced with resource constraints.

利用可持续健康与安全成熟度模型评估可持续建筑项目的健康与安全成熟度

使用可持续健康和安全成熟度模型对马尼托巴省20个可持续建筑项目和21个非可持续建筑项目的健康和安全成熟度进行了评估，该模型包括22个安全成熟度驱动因素和251个对安全至关重要的做法，通过问卷调查进行了评估。可持续建筑项目的健康和安全成熟度高于非可持续建筑项目。研究发现，与中小型公司相比，大型公司在其可持续建筑和非可持续建筑项目上实施了更成熟的健康和安全做法。在可持续建筑和非可持续建筑项目中，“安全政策和标准实施”、“安全检查”和“事故调查、报告和绩效”的安全成熟度驱动因素最为成熟，而“安全设计”和“酒精和药物测试”的成熟度最低。总承包商可以使用成熟度模型来评价和改进其项目的健康安全成熟度。安全从业人员还可以将精力集中在影响力最大的安全成熟驾驶员身上，以帮助提高其安全计划的有效性，特别是在面临资源限制的情况下。

期刊介绍： The purpose of the Journal of Green Building is to present the very best peer-reviewed research in green building design, construction, engineering, technological innovation, facilities management, building information modeling, and community and urban planning. The Research section of the Journal of Green Building publishes peer-reviewed articles in the fields of engineering, architecture, construction, construction management, building science, facilities management, landscape architecture, interior design, urban and community planning, and all disciplines related to the built environment. In addition, the Journal of Green Building offers the following sections: Industry Corner that offers applied articles of successfully completed sustainable buildings and landscapes; New Directions in Teaching and Research that offers guidance from teachers and researchers on incorporating innovative sustainable learning into the curriculum or the likely directions of future research; and Campus Sustainability that offers articles from programs dedicated to greening the university campus.
