Description

Presents results of a research project to create a cost-effective computing method to enable Time-Cost Trade-off (TCT) optimization analysis on construction projects of practical size and complexity reflecting those in the real world. The researchers aim was to work toward formalizing guidelines for TCT optimization that would consider safety and time and cost constraints related to the expedition of construction projects. It is postulated that having guidelines and analysis tools such as these may decrease hazardous situations and safety risks that have been associated with expedition of construction project schedules.

Description

Several different approaches and interventions have been utilized to mitigate the occupational risk from alcohol or drug-related impairment. This study conducted a comprehensive literature review to determine whether one approach - randomly choosing workers to be tested for alcohol and drugs - helps make workplaces safer, or whether there is not enough evidence to say. The study was funded by a grant from the OHS Futures Research Funding Program.
