& Management Accountability Enhancement
![Page 8: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
Problem
• Smaller construction companies (i.e. roofers, excavation/trenching, masons) with higher fatality rates
• Due to small size, site inspection and audit programs lack consistency and follow-through
• Company owners complain about burden of foremen documenting and filling out inspection sheets and tool-box talks
![Page 9: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Problem (cont)
• Owners receive citations and complain about providing training, safety equipment & resources to foremen, who then fail to comply
• Owners / safety managers try to conduct and document inspections – try to surprise the crews and catch them working safe
• Complain about employee misconduct but don’t adequately document or implement site inspections and discipline
![Page 10: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Solution
• Have crew leaders / foremen/superintendents walk job sites and use cell phones to take photos of safety set-up at beginning of job & text copy to owner / safety manager
• Owner/safety manager set up G-Mail or Google Account (or external hard drive) to save photos which have a time and date that documents safety on job sites
• Especially useful for roofers, masons / scaffolds, and excavations/trenches
![Page 11: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Solution (cont)
• Instead of completing boring inspection checklists or sheets of paper documenting the inspections (which is a pain for foremen), send instant text messages with photos – easy!
• This can help supplement and document the employer’s safety and health management system without using a lot of paper and resources
![Page 12: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
Benefits
• Instant documentation of compliance with safety for job (i.e. verification of fall protection or trench boxes / sloping, etc.)
• Auditable by owner / safety manager – can quickly identify deficiencies or improvements needed
• Instant accountability for construction site managers – i.e. Owner sends text message to three crews asking them to send photos of safety set up at site – site managers have to respond immediately (if fall protection not currently in place, it will be before text is sent!)
![Page 13: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Benefits (cont)
• Can use existing technology (i.e. photos or video – Skype to do audits at any time of day)
• Employer can document inspection program • If site manager is required to do this at the
start of each shift, will make it easier for crew to comply for the rest of the shift
• Can’t guarantee 100% compliance, but will increase compliance at least when the photo is taken
![Page 14: Howie Eberts Area Director OSHA Cleveland Area Office WELCOME Cleveland Construction Safety Initiative February 12, 2013](https://reader035.vdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062314/56649ddd5503460f94ad62e6/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Benefits (cont)
• Small companies can easily do this. Can supplement or replace inspection forms.
• Companies can instantly audit job sites at any time of the day – if companies seriously implement this, will hold site managers accountable for compliance throughout the day
• Easy, easy, easy! Most people have cell phones and know how to send text photos

Study: OSHA Inspections Reduce Injuries with No Job Loss
Harvard & UC Berkeley researchers found:• 9.4% drop in injury claims in the 4 years after
inspection
• 26% average savings on workers’ compensation costs
• $355,000 average savings for an employer (small or large) as a result of an OSHA inspection
• Study estimates $6 billion in savings to employers nationwide
There was no evidence that these improvements came at the expense of employment, sales, credit ratings or firm survival.
OSHA doesn’t kill jobs; it helps prevent jobs from killing workers

Calculating Industry Fatality Rate Using the NIOSH CFOI formula
Number of fatalities per 100,000 workers performing that job - Task Team 1 calculated the fatality rate for the industry and for the 6 main partners:• 10 year base line (1995 - 2004, as calculated by
Task Team 1) average for the industry = fatality rate of 42.3
• 6 main partners, 4 year base line average (2001-2004, obtained by Task Team 1) = 46.17
