    Notes: Describes the development and effects of behaviourally-basedmanagement techniques in improving construction site safety. In phaseone, goal-setting and feedback methods were developed and tested on sixsites in the North West of England. A 40-week longitudinal researchdesign was adopted in which measures of safety performance were takenbefore, during and after the application of these methods. The measuresincluded four categories of measurement: access to heights; sitehousekeeping (site tidiness); scaffolding; and use of personalprotective equipment (PPE) - with PPE used as a control. Theresults showed that: safety behaviour can be objectively and reliablymeasured; goal setting and feedback can produce large improvements insafety performance; the commitment of site management appears to enhancetheir effectiveness. Eleven major contractors have provided us with 22sites which are participating, or have participated, in a largerfollow-up study that aims to assess whether contractors are able toimplement these techniques themselves. Early results are highlyencouraging, though analysis indicates that the mechanism by which theintervention influences behaviour is less direct than classicalgoal-setting theory would suggest.
