Abstract

The construction industry is known for its inherent risks, contributing to ~170,000 workplace injuries and illnesses annually in the United States. Engaging in prejob safety discussions presents a crucial chance to safeguard workers by proactively recognizing hazards and ensuring that crews are well-oriented with safety protocols before commencing work each day. However, research shows prejob meetings are often conducted hastily without the depth required to fully uncover risks. This study examines the characteristics that distinguish high-impact, high-quality prejob safety conversations from lower- quality counterparts. Strategies are provided for improving engagement, psychological safety, hazard analysis, accountability, and leadership support to transform safety talks into dynamic interactions that empower employees to operate safely. Additionally, this study reviews leading-edge artificial intelligence techniques, enabling construction firms to capture, analyze, and optimize their daily planning conversations at scale to drive safety excellence. Implementing the evidence-based strategies discussed allows organizations to realize the immense potential of prejob conversations for preventing injuries and fatalities.

日常规划对话和人工智能：改善建筑文化、参与、规划和安全的关键。

建筑行业以其固有的风险而闻名，在美国每年造成约 17 万起工伤和疾病。参加工作前安全讨论是保护工人安全的一个重要机会，它可以主动识别危险，并确保工作人员在每天开始工作前充分了解安全规程。然而，研究表明，作业前会议往往草率进行，缺乏充分揭示风险所需的深度。本研究探讨了影响大、质量高的岗前安全谈话与质量低的岗前安全谈话之间的区别。本研究提供了提高参与度、心理安全、危险分析、问责制和领导支持的策略，以将安全谈话转变为动态互动，从而增强员工的安全操作能力。此外，本研究还回顾了前沿的人工智能技术，使建筑公司能够大规模地捕捉、分析和优化其日常计划对话，从而推动安全工作的卓越发展。通过实施所讨论的循证策略，企业可以发挥岗前谈话在预防伤亡事故方面的巨大潜力。
