| Abstract |
This reference book surveys in detail construction safety principles and specific, effective how-to information for integrating safety into all aspects of jobsite operations. It demonstrates methods for incorporating safety management techniques into every phase of construction, from pre-job planning through project completion. It provides immediately applicable methods for effective jobsite safety, outlining employers' rights and responsibilities under OSHA guidelines, motivating employees to participate in the safety efforts and safety training. It also offers critical insights into current issues such as the worker component of accident causation, crisis management, hazard communication, substance abuse in the workplace, health hazards such as AIDS and hepatitis, and the sick building syndrome. |
