Differentiation not disintegration: Integrating strategies to improve Occupational Health and Safety in the construction industry

在澳大利亚，几乎10%的伤亡索赔是由建筑造成的，造成了巨大的社会和经济负担。供应链的组织、技术和文化碎片化阻碍了将职业健康与安全（OHS）纳入建筑规划和设计。该研究将通过以下方式实现建筑业职业健康安全的关键和可持续改进：（i）所有行业参与者参与职业健康安全改进工作;（ii）确定可以改进职业健康安全的新技术;及（iii）在建筑业利益相关者之间建立有关职业健康安全的统一目标，大大有助于减少职业死亡的社会和经济成本，受伤和疾病。

Almost ten percent of all injury and death claims in Australia are attributed to construction, creating a significant social and economic burden. Organisational, technological and cultural fragmentation of the supply chain impedes the integration of Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) into construction planning and design. The research will effect critical and sustainable improvements in construction OHS, through: (i) the engagement of all industry participants in the OHS improvement effort; (ii) the identification of new technologies which can improve OHS; and (iii) the establishment of a unity of purpose regarding OHS among construction industry stakeholders, contributing significantly to a reduction in the social and economic costs of occupational death, injury and illness.
