3.2. Identifying opinion leaders in the construction sector
Soliciting the names of opinion leaders was done at two labour
management meetings and four trade-specific committee meetings
(electrical, pipe-trades, sprinkler and refrigerator), with the idea
that leaders could be the springboard for innovation within the
industry. They were asked: What company sets the trends in your
sector? Who would you consider calling for help? Who is the ‘‘best’’
company in your sector? Which is the most ‘‘respected’’ company?
Which company is the trend-setter? If an individual company was
identified as an opinion leader more than three times, they were
selected to be part of the study.
Initially 33 companies were contacted. Thirteen agreed to
participate. Added to these were two companies who were already
using the ladder lift, and three employers who did not accept the
innovation, but gave information on their decision-making process.
3.3. Commitment from the opinion leaders
The companies committed to letting workers receive training
while the ladder lift was installed; that workers would fill out
questionnaires; and that the opinion leaders would participate in
two semi-structured interviews. The companies would also give
a talk on their experience with the ladder lift at a regional or tradespecific
labour-management health and safety committee meeting.
The expectation was that sharing their experiences, and perhaps
endorsing the ladder lift, would help others decide to use it. This
idea emerged from a study that found that a major barrier to the
use of new ergonomic ideas in construction was the lack of a forum
to share knowledge about interventions (Fulmer et al., 2006).
