Case Study Analysis. Dependent variable Data was collected about OSH hazards and the risk control solutions implemented within the case examples. This data was elicited during the interviews and supplemented with site-based observations and examination of project documentation (e.g. plans and drawings). For each feature of work, a score was generated reflecting the quality of implemented risk control solutions. This score was based on the hierarchy of control (HOC). The Hierarchy of Control classifies ways of dealing with OSH hazards/risks according to the level of effectiveness of the control The hierarchy of control (HOC) is a well-established framework in OSH (see, for example, Xxxxxxx, 2006). The HOC classifies ways of dealing with OSH hazards/risks according to the level of effectiveness of the control. At the top of the HOC is the elimination of a hazard/risk altogether. This is the most effective form of control because the physical removal of the hazard/risk from the work environment means that workers are not exposed to it. The second level of control is substitution. This involves replacing something that produces a hazard with something less hazardous. At the third level in the HOC are engineering controls, which isolate people from hazards. The top three levels of control (i.e, elimination, substitution and engineering) are technological because they act on changing the physical work environment. Beneath the technological controls, level four controls are administrative in nature, such as developing safe work procedures or implementing a job rotation scheme to limit exposure. At the bottom of the hierarchy at level five is personal protective equipment (PPE) – the lowest form of control. Although, much emphasized and visible on a worksite, at best, PPE should be seen as a “last resort,” see, for example Xxxxxxxx et al.’s analysis of barriers to the use of eye protection (Xxxxxxxx et al. 2009). The bottom two levels in the HOC represent behavioral controls that they seek to change the way people work (for a summary of the limitations of these controls see Xxxxxxx, 2006). Each level of the HOC was given a rating ranging from one (personal protective equipment) to five (elimination). The risk controls implemented for hazards/risks presented by each feature of work were assigned a score on this five point scale. In the event that no risk controls were implemented, a value of zero was assigned. Independent variable Social network analysis (SNA) was used to map the socia...

Case Study Analysis. We propose to undertake a detailed study of CESP and CERT delivery in seven geographic areas. This area-specific analysis will allow us to generate an in-depth understanding of geographically-specific delivery models (e.g. area-based energy efficiency schemes; targeted campaigns or incentives), together with an understanding of how the CESP and CERT schemes worked together, and the local outputs, outcomes and impacts of these schemes, including costs. The case studies will complement the national-level analysis through providing a bottom-up understanding of CERT and CESP delivery. The area-specific analysis would comprise:
