About the Study
In 2018, the IRMI MindForge team hired consulting firm Mad Pow to perform a
series of on-site interviews and observations at three construction sites in
different areas of the United States. What we learned is presented in this
executive summary.
The report includes recommendations for construction safety training including
suggestions for program structure and content.
A division of IRMI, MIndForge is a cloud-based software platform that
streamlines how construction contractors manage, train, and engage their
workforce. It helps bridge the communication divide between the home office and
the frontline workforce by providing a direct conduit for training,
documentation, and information. Our mission is to study behavioral,
motivational and systematic issues related to serious injuries and fatalities
(SIFs) to build a body of knowledge that will culminate in training and
software explicitly designed to help keep workers safe.
Our studies have shown that it's difficult to get information and
training to the frontline. And that effort is made more difficult because job
sites have a mix of self-performers and subcontractors. We believe that by
bridging this gap, contractors can effectively transfer critical knowledge,
skills, and information, when it's needed, to ultimately reduce SIFs.
