This evaluative paper, cited by 143, develops a framework for CSR indicators relevant to construction enterprises worldwide. It was identified that the construction industry has become increasingly targeted by governments to manage their performance, based on social responsibility, and that comprehensive indicator measurement was lacking. Analysis was divided between project and corporation levels. Through an extensive literature review, thirty CSR indicators were identified, eight of which were related to Health and Safety for Employees. Zhao Zhen Yu is a professor and Zhao Xiao-Jing is a doctoral student at the School of Economics and Management, North China Electric Power University. Davidson is a Lecturer and Zuo, PhD in Architecture, is associate professor, at the University of Adelaide.
The study places Health and Safety firmly in the realms of CSR for construction companies.
