A Comparative Study of Safety Leading and Lagging Indicators Measuring Project Safety Performance

Abstract

The safety management system is recognized by safety leading and lagging indicators, and their correlation with injury rates. The background on this specific subject is vague in definition, labelling, and indicators measurement. The comparativeness between leading and lagging indicators have been introduced in the constructing safety performance projects evaluation. Safety performance leading indicators are the metrics of the safety method in constructing work. While the lagging indicators associated with safety results. Many suggestions have been considered during the usage and selection of the effective leading indicators. Also, the research results outlined that the leading indicators can be used to discriminate the variances in the safety performance of projects. In this specified research, leading and lagging indicators have been reviewed and investigated. Eighteen papers have been investigated from the period of 2010 to 2019 in order to recognize the common leading and lagging indicators. In addition, this review will recognize the gaps in leading and lagging research in order to concentrate on extra studies in that field. Four papers mentioned the correlation between lagging and leading indicators. A scoping review is focusing on the points and the significant ideas associated with the research area in accordance with the history time.

Systematic Literature Review on Indicators Use in Safety Management Practices among Utility Industries

“…However, Jiang et al (2010) found a lack of evidence on safety management practices as predictors and near misses' relationships due to the probability of underreporting [59]. Thus, the correlation between leading indicators and safety outcomes is complicated [90]. Future studies should focus on validating the influence of leading indicators in safety management practices toward safety outcomes.…”

Investigating and analyzing the most important delay causes in Kurdistan Building Construction Projects

“…Additionally, the delay subjects remained classified employing the RII and confirmed through Friedman´s and Wilcoxon´s tests. The authors documented the five main details of delay as lack of money, postponement produced by other establishments, poor planning, errors or oversights in constructing work, and difficulties in the documentation of needs [8], [23].…”

The Investigation of The Different Types of the Ground Rebar Spacers with Proposing New Design Rebar Space Mixed of Concrete Palstic

“…The binding material for binding the reinforcement is inserted. It relates to a separation prevention spacer consisting of the side binding insert grooves (3,4) as in Detachment spacer [18]…”
