Project Life Saver

In June 2003, Project Lifesaver (PLS) began as a loss reduction initiative for ACIG to assist our members in focusing their attention on strategic, well-defined initiatives to reduce the severity and frequency of their losses.  To date, we have reduced our expected losses in excess of $45 million from our benchmark year.  In addition, the following rate reductions exhibit the effectiveness of this initiative due to the teamwork between our ACIG contractors and the ACIG service teams, as well as the support displayed by our members’ executive leadership.

• 43.7% WC loss rate reduction
• 73% GL loss rate reduction
• 11.1% AL loss rate reduction

These reductions came at a time when our members increased manhours by 39%, which makes the results even more remarkable.

Since complacency is our worst enemy, we continue to raise the bar as our goals for Project Lifesaver Phase II are (1) to prevent jobsite deaths, and (2) to achieve a 40% reduction in the PLS loss rates over the next four policy years.  In order to assist our members in achieving this new set of goals, we propose to perform the following tasks.

• Develop an enhanced Incident Investigation training program to assist members in analyzing incidents and developing lessons learned
• Conduct Safety Culture Evaluations and identify key characteristics of successful companies
• Conduct regional workshops on “Establishing a Safety Culture”
• Assist members in facilitating a Subcontractor Summit for “Creating a Zero Injury Culture”
• Continue the renewed emphasis on Fleet Safety for all members
• Continue to evaluate Best Practices and Risk Mitigation techniques as relates to quality and construction defect claims
• Continue the annual Best Practices meetings with an emphasis on Executive and operations participation
• Continue annual Project Lifesaver meetings with an emphasis on the Contractor Action Plan

We continue to strive toward our goal of ZERO!
