Enhancing Workplace Safety and Employee Well-being with Incident Statistics Analysis

This case study explores how the South African Forum of Civil Engineering Contractors utilizes incident statistics to analyze trends, implement preventive measures, and drive behavioral changes. By leveraging data, they enhance workplace safety and provide comprehensive coverage and support for construction industry employees through the FEM Compensation Fund. Additionally, initiatives such as upskilling/reskilling programs aim to improve the well-being of injured workers and promote their professional development.
