A pilot study aiming to evaluate the feasibility of the integration was carried out at the site of a small sized building company. Safety planning was introduced in an existing planning and control cycle. One of the main conclusions of the study is that some lean production concepts and methods that have been used for production planning and control (such as the Last Planner Method, for instance) can be easily extended to safety planning. For instance, a performance indicator named PSW (Percentage of Safe Work Packages), similar to PPC, is potentially effective for safety control. Based on the overall analysis of the case study, some guidelines for further improvements in the SPC model are proposed. }, author_keywords={Safety, production management, planning and control, macroergonomics. }, address={Singapore, Singapore }, issn={ }, publisher={ }, language={English}, document_type={Conference Paper}, source={IGLC}, }
