Interventions for preventing injuries in the construction industry

Essential Occupational Safety and Health Interventions for Low- and Middle-income Countries: An Overview of the Evidence

“…The authors warn for the possibility of so-called perverse incentives. Another Cochrane review did not find evidence in three studies that regulatory interventions were effective in construction industry [33]. In again another review, legislation requiring rollover protective structures on new tractors was associated with a decrease in fatal injuries, but the same requirement for existing tractors showed no effect [31].…”

“…Another review of educational interventions in agriculture did not find an effect on injury rates in three RCTs of adults (Relative Risk = 1.02; 95% CI, 0.87–1.20) or in two RCTs of children [31]. In the construction industry, another Cochrane review reported an effect of both a safety campaign and a drug-free workplace program on nonfatal injuries [33].…”

Safety interventions for the prevention of accidents at work: A systematic review

“…Reviews have identified evidence of efficacy of multifaceted interventions across levels, including safety campaigns within farm safety (DeRoo & Rautiainen, 2000), eye injuries in manufacturing (Lipscomb, 2000), and on non‐fatal injuries within the construction industry (van der Molen et al, 2013).…”

The Italian National Surveillance System for Occupational Injuries: Conceptual Framework and Fatal Outcomes, 2002–2016

“…Findings from a safety-campaign study and a drug-free-workplace study indicated that both interventions significantly reduced the level and the trend of incidents. Three studies evaluating legislation did not find decreased levels of non-fatal or fatal injuries in the construction industry [ 25 ]. In a more recent systematic review on 17 interventional studies (14 interrupted time series and 3 before-after studies) collected up to 1 April 2017, a significant effect was measured in the year immediately after the intervention and a sustained effect was assessed as change in time trend before and after the intervention.…”
