The construction industry has not had a good record on health and safety and faces tough legal and financial penalties for breaches of the law.
Changes in law and best practice in construction safety make it difficult for the construction professional to keep up with current thinking and requirements.
Covering occupational health issues and the environmental impact of construction as well as mainstream 'safety', Principles of Construction Safety is a unique resource for those who construct, or procure the construction of projects of all sizes and in all countries.
