Sustainable Construction Safety and Health
• The sustainable safety and health concept aims to sustain the construction worker’s safety and health:– from start to finish of a single project;– for each future project the worker is involved
in; and– during the worker’s remaining lifetime after
retirement,without any injuries or illnesses as a result of the construction work.

SCSH Rating System Development
Main objective was to develop a sustainable construction safety and health (SCSH) rating system that will provide an opportunity to rate
projects based on the importance given to safety and health and the degree of
implementation of those safety and health elements.

QUESTIONS
• What are the important construction worker safety and health elements that should be part of the SCSH rating system?
• What is the effectiveness of each of these elements in preventing construction injuries/illnesses?
• What should be the structure of the SCSH rating system?
• How should credits be calculated for each element of the SCSH rating system?

• Example: Awkward Posture• Elevated work station will help in most situations• Two saw horses ~ quick and easy fix to avoid a
back injury and prevent a crew member off the job.
