- Description
- This paper reports on an investigation of resilience engineering as a construction safety strategy through safe work method statements. Safe work method statements are a regulated strategy for controlling health and safety risks in Australia. However, there is little research published on safe work method statements, so the specific role they play in construction are unknown. Previous studies have suggested similar approaches, such as safety rules and/procedures were not followed to the latter but adapted to suit the local context of work and environment, creating gaps between the two. Such gaps are also important in Resilience engineering, a new paradigm for safety management. While RE is attention in construction safety, the specific links between safe work method statements and resilience engineering have not been investigated, so it is not clear whether safe work method statements enhance or hinder resilience engineering. This study seeks to address this through a case study in a residential construction project.
