Which item is NOT considered a safety criterion?

Which item is NOT considered a safety criterion?

• A. Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR)
• B. Contractor lost time
• C. OSHA 200 and 300 form
• D. Experience Modification Rate (EMR)

Answer: (A)

The main idea is identifying which items are used to gauge safety performance on a construction project. Alternative Dispute Resolution is not a safety metric; it’s about resolving conflicts between parties, not measuring injuries or safety performance. The other items are all tied to safety data: OSHA 200 and 300 forms document work-related injuries and illnesses and are used to track safety compliance; the Experience Modification Rate adjusts insurance costs based on a contractor’s past safety performance; and lost time indicates the impact and severity of injuries on the workforce. So, ADR stands out as not being a safety criterion.
