The speakers will be joined by ENR’s Safety Editor, Richard Korman who will moderate the discussion, which will explore a series of questions such as “Are Statistics and Behavior Approaches to Safety Overshadowing On-Site Inspections?” and “Why and What Can Be Done About the Stubbornly High Fatality Rate?” They will further explore the broader topic of safety throughout the session, sharing their examples, experiences, challenges and ideas.
ENR’s Risk and Compliance Summit, titled “Managing Risk for Greater Awards,” will forge a cohesive idea of construction risk control at a time when new and changing risks are revolutionizing the construction industry.

The Safety Discussion session is scheduled for 2.10pm to 3.10pm.
About ENR Risk & Compliance Summit
Risk control is widely acknowledged as a central management concern in the construction industry, with more and more companies either centralizing risk-control in a single office or executive or devoting more resources to the effort. ENR’s first Risk and Compliance Summit will forge a cohesive idea of construction risk control at a time when new and changing risks are revolutionizing the industry. Industry leaders will assess the importance of various risks, how to measure and control them and explain how the risks may change in the years ahead. Individual sessions will be devoted to project-related failures, managing the workforce safely and in compliance with regulations, avoiding the trap of over-anticipating one kind of risk while failing to see another developing risk.
