An interesting point is that it is through implementing lean project managemnt only they obtained the result. Their non-lean projects (where they act as subs and are managed by other, non lean firms)have still the old and much higher accident rate. From this I conclude that there has been no influence of safety campaigns, weather conditions or similar as we are looking at the same comany and same two year plus period. Sven Hal,
