Description
This versatile, easy-to-use software tool provides a means by which designers and others can address construction worker safety in their designs. Contains a database of design suggestions or “best practices” that can be implemented during the project planning and design phases. Design suggestions not only focus on construction phase safety, but also can be applied to the start-up, maintenance, and decommissioning phases of a project. By using this software, the user can quickly focus on creating a safe design for a particular project. The program is applicable to all types and sizes of construction projects through an interactive, graphical, computer environment.

Description
Includes four implementation resources that can be used to help members of industrial firms evaluate the sustainability of their construction projects. The four resources are: 1) a Checklist for Sustainable Industrial Construction Job Sites, 2) a Quick Start Guide, 3) two Maturity Models, and 4) a proposed Industrial Sustainability Index Metric.

Description
Evaluates workers’ compensation insurance and management, offers guidelines to help reduce claims, minimize costs, and control the rehabilitation process when accidents do occur.

Description
Provides a proactive management process for contaminated site remediation projects. Identifies key management issues and actions that should be taken along each step in the process.

Description
Covers planning for encounters with soil contamination as well as groundwater contamination. Includes sections on information gathering, the soils management plan, and dewatering.

Description
Emphasizes how management of insurance coverage reduces premiums up to 80 percent; includes worksheets and step-by-step information to help both owners and contractors calculate cost of injury, and to implement a zero injury management program.

Description
Evaluates the performance of remote sensing technology that warns construction personnel of the presence of potential onsite hazards in real time. Gives field trial results on devices that track accurate location, proximity, and trajectory data of construction resources (workers, equipment, and materials) in real time. Provides insight into how well the technology can be applied to construction operations and assesses workers' receptiveness to its use. Presents research limited to equipment-pedestrian interactions on the kinds of construction sites typically controlled by behavioral management strategies and by onsite traffic flow management.

Description
Summarizes the results of the 2009 Annual Safety Survey conducted by CII. Safety data were provided by 55 CII members (24 owners and 31 contractors), representing over 2 billion work-hours reported for 2008. Corporate-level safety statistics were presented to assist CII members in benchmark their corporate safety performance.

Description
Provides a process, a maturity model, and the Integration Opportunity Assessment Tool to aid efforts in corporate planning, presentation, and development of specific information integration plans. Will help organizations make a systematic assessment of their current information integration practices and plan for new investments.

Description
Defines sustainability for the industrial construction sector and presents drivers, trends, and barriers for this increasingly important topic. Examines current efforts at the governmental, corporate, and project levels and introduces a quick start guide and a maturity model to measure levels of awareness and implementation.
