- Abstract:
This research indicates that clients influence contractor health and safety as their requirements and decisions occur upstream. The need for a holistic approach to Total Quality Management through a partnering process incorporating client involvement is amplified by the current high level of fatalities and injuries. Clients have a positive role to play in lowering injury rates and influencing contracts
