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 technologies.
He explains how to prevent
falls from elevations with safe access systems, get rid of
blind zones behind mobile equipment, utilize control
systems that cannot be unintentionally activated, avoid
crane accidents, and much more.
Packed with detailed
illustrations, Construction Safety Engineering
Principles enables construction professionals to:
- Design and plan safer
construction sites for residential, commercial, and
industrial projects
- Correct safety problems
before construction begins
- Dramatically reduce
costly worker injuries and job delays
- Increase productivity
and create a more cost-effective project
