Zero is currently the biggest number in construction site safety. Through various Brand Zero programmes, the industry is striving for a utopia, however, the methods it has chosen – with a focus on numbers and measurement of safety – do not reconcile with how the workforce sees zero in practice. For them zero can never be achieved and so Brand Zero becomes nothing more than a nice idea, something for the future, but not something that resonates with their current understandings of safety. Arguably, Brand Zero has created a distraction from the questions we should be asking about safety on sites, concerns about numbers and statistics overshadowing the more important considerations of how safety actually works in practice.
