Influencing Workers' Performance through Health and Safety Interventions

A study was conducted among registered construction project managers (CPMs) and general contractor (GC) members of an employers association to determine whether CPMs can and do influence workers' performance through H&S interventions. The salient findings include that CPMs do influence workers' performance through H&S and related interventions during the design, procurement, and construction processes, however, there is potential to enhance such influence. Therefore, it can be concluded that CPMs have a major role to play in terms of influencing worker performance through H&S interventions. Recommendations include that CPMs should raise client awareness with respect to worker H&S and welfare facilities.
