A two-phase safety programme approach was adopted resulting in augmented safety awareness and engagement, as well as a more appropriate and actionable representation of underlying incident causes through organizational learning. The paper promotes the linking of new concepts to the lean construction discourse, and serves as interesting case about the move towards a zero waste culture for a large organization. }, author_keywords={Safety improvement, Incident, Last Planner, Five whys, Resilience, Lean Construction }, address={San Diego, California, USA }, issn={ }, publisher={ }, language={English}, document_type={Conference Paper}, source={IGLC}, }
