In autumn 2010, the Division of Civil Engineering at the Swedish building contractorPEAB made a campaign to increase the number of reported incidents. Informationwas sent to the branch manager who was responsible to enlighten the employees onthe establishment. The goal of PEAB Division of Civil Engineering is to have at least 10reported incidents per accident that generate more than 8 hours absence. Therefore,it is important that the employees understand how the report system for incidentsworks. The number of reported incidents differs between regions. In order toimprove the understanding of why the numbers differ, PEAB Division of CivilEngineering wants to look into the region with the most reported incidents and theregion with the fewest. Through qualitative interviews, the employee’s knowledge andattitude to reporting incidents were reviewed.The study shows large differences in attitude and routines between the two regions.The biggest differences are due to the commitment of the management and how theinformation about the reporting system of incidents reaches their subcontractors. It isshown that the contractors find it confusing what incidents are to be report.In this report we give recommendations how to get an increased number of incidentsreported and later reach up to the goals PEAB Division of Civil Engineering of animproved work environment.
