| Abstract |
Brazilian Regulatory Standard No.18 of 1995 on Working Conditions and the Working Environment in the Construction Industry (see CIS 96-1179) specifies that it is mandatory to prepare a working conditions and work environment plan (PCMAT) in all construction establishments with more than 20 workers. This publication presents the detailed calculations of the costs of implementing PCMAT using the example of the construction of a residential building of more than four floors. It is found that these costs amount to 1.49% of the total cost of construction. |
