  • Abstract:
    Purpose - This paper aims to report on the findings from a research project, commissioned by the UK Health and Safety Executive (HSE), investigating the integration of health and safety (H&S) with construction planning. Design/methodology/approach - A combination of group and individual interviews were undertaken with qualitative methods of analysis to develop an integrated process model. Findings - The model developed uses "Gateway" decision points, which allows flexibility and the early integration of H&S at a strategic level, although detailed planning is still required through the use of integrated management tools. Practical implications - This study will help practitioners who wish to integrate CDM principles using a process model. It has also informed the HSE with policy decisions for their review of the Construction Design and Management Regulations 1994. Originality/value - Previous research on construction H&S has tended to concentrate on site management. This study extends knowledge and understanding of how H&S can be integrated at the planning stage of projects.
