Abstract

The continuous advancement of technology has promoted an increase in the complexity of work systems, generating an excellent challenge for the management of safety and health on construction sites. Using the Safety-II approach that emphasizes the understanding of daily work to learn mainly with success is an alternative to deal with the growing complexity of the construction industry, which still uses mostly the Safety-I. The objective is to apply and integrate the approaches of Safety-I and Safety-II to evaluate the management of the safety and health of the daily work on a construction site and learn from the failures and successes. The steps were the observation of the activity, the evaluation between work as performed (WAD) and work as imagined (WAI), and the application of the RPET (Resilient Performance Enhancement Toolkit), in which weekly meetings were held with the management and execution team of the work to discuss improvements in the performance of the work. The results indicate that applying this approach promoted organizational and individual learning. They also indicated that the system was adaptable to unwanted events.
