    • Abstract:
      The current safety and loss control program for the South Dakota Department of Transportation is not reaching its full potential and does not adequately prevent accidents and injuries. The Department has experienced an unacceptably high number of accidents. The incident rates for injury accidents for the three-year period 1996-1998 was well above the national average for similar industries. the objectve of this research project was to develop a formal safety program that address these problems then to develop a method to promote the new program. the development of the new program was to be accomplished by analyzing the current safety program and comparing this program to others that the consultant had developed, and similar industries. A survey instrument was established and employee interviews took place across the state using this instrument. In addition to the on-site interviews, the consultant observed actual work being performed by SDDOT employees both with their knowledge and without their knowledge. The current safety manual was revised and updated and changes to the current safety program are recommended. As a result of the review of the current program, it is recommended by the consultant the current program not be scrapped in favor of a new program. It would be more beneficial to modify the current program rather than to attempt to start over with a new safety program. Changes recommended by the consultant to the current program include revising the current accident investigation procedures to place a greater emphasis on prevention rather than blame, with the front-line supervisor taking a more active role in completing accident investigations; implementing a formal safety improvement identification program to help improve workplace safety; revise the role of the Regional Safety Committee so they will take a more aggressive position in the safety program; create a full-time safety position within the Central Office to help track trends and promote safety from the Central Office staff; implement a safety incentive program to help motivate employees to work safer individually and as a team; and to enforce the current safety rules, policies, and procedures to make safety important to all SDDOT employees.
