Description:

Identify and Control Safety Hazards on Construction Sites to Reduce Worker Injuries and Increase Productivity "Construction Safety Engineering Principles: Designing & Managing Safer Job Sites" equips architects, engineers, and construction managers with a step-by-step methodology for identifying and controlling hazards before construction starts. The book explains how to look beyond the utility of machinery and equipment to how they will actually be used on a construction site_and thereby spot potential hazards in advance. Safety expert David MacCollum presents examples of the 50 most common construction hazards, showing how they can be eliminated by means of proven design techniques and…
