The Union Effect on Contractor Safety Management Programs  

CPWR's  first Quarterly Data Report of 2018 used findings from a Construction Safety Management Survey to examine the relationship between safety management practices among union and non-union general and specialty trades contractors. The survey was conducted on behalf of CPWR and other construction industry partners in 2017 by Dodge Data and Analytics. 
 
The analysis found a number of noteworthy differences between the two groups, including:
  • Nearly 80% of union contractors reported conducting job hazard analyses before starting work, compared with 56% of non-union contractors.
  • Sixty-Seven percent (67%) of union contractors reported conducting prompt near-miss investigations after safety incidents, compared with 50% of non-union contractors.
  • Approximately nine in ten (87%) union contractors prepared site-specific safety and health plans for their projects, compared with 69% of non-union contractors.
  • Compared to non-union contractors, union contractors were more likely to provide OSHA 10-hour and 30-hour training to their employees.
