Hazard Closing Actions in Predicting Safety Incidents

Predictive analytics is a tool to be used in a number of areas including organizational health and safety. This proposal will explain how predictive analytics will be applied to an organization\u27s health and safety data to understand the circumstances that lead to a construction injury. Specifically, this proposal examines time lags between when a hazard is reported by a front-line worker/foreman and the time it takes to mitigate the hazard and administratively “close out” the hazard report. We hypothesize that construction sites that take a longer time between opening and closing a hazard will have had more incidents of injury among its workforce. If this relationship is confirmed, the company can use this information to put more influence on addressing the hazards in a timely manner
