- Abstract:
The construction industry is experiencing a number of challenges. For example, construction workplaces report poor safety performance, widespread inefficiencies, and stagnant productivity rates. These challenges often translate into higher-order issues including cost overruns, schedule growths, and project failure. Accordingly, much of construction research has focused on identifying best practices to improve safety, efficiency, and productivity. However, the majority of these efforts focus on resolving one of these challenges (e.g., safety) rather than holistically addressing safety, efficiency, and productivity in unison. Unfortunately, such an approach can yield unintended consequences in certain circumstances. For example, a narrow focus on productivity may adversely affect safety performance, and vice versa. One nationwide safety issue that has received much recent attention is the protection of highway and bridge workers from falls to lower levels when working on bridge decks. In these circumstances, highway and bridge workers largely rely on existing bridge guardrails for their protection against falls. However, most bridge guardrails do not offer a barrier height of
