A Multi-perspective Study on Safety Performance at the Colorado DOT

Résumé du livre

This is the second of a two-part research effort to determine how to improve the effectiveness of CDOT safety efforts. This effort focuses on the safety culture within CDOT and the effectiveness of the CDOT safety programs on improving safety culture. The study used a survey approach based on interviews with senior safety officials to determine the scope of the survey questions. Based on the survey results, it is recommended that CDOT continue to engage in culture enhancement activities. Of particular importance is the continued discussion of the Excellence in Safety program and the undertaking of a follow-up effort to understand why specific regions have a higher level of implementation and change than others. Additionally, the effort needs to focus on understanding the differences in perception between supervisory and field crew personnel.
