Allan St John Holt 
Principles of Construction Safety [PDF ebook] 

Підтримка

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.
This book provides a unique resource for all those who construct
or procure the construction of projects of all sizes and in all
countries and for clients who need to keep abreast of their own and
their contractors’ responsibilities.
It gives practical guidance on best practice, including:
* * measuring performance and recording information
* * developing a safety policy and method statements
* * assessing risk
* * training and understanding people
* * the basics of the construction/environment interface
The book addresses several topics not found in other reference
works, discussing techniques of health and safety and basic
environmental management as applied to the industry. It uniquely
provides 50 quick reference guides setting out solutions to common
problems. These include falls, manual and mechanical handling, work
with asbestos and noise. It also summarises the main UK legal
requirements on construction safety and health and includes a
number of useful checklists and model forms.
Written by a very experienced health and safety practitioner,
who is also author of the highly successful IOSH book Principles of
Health and Safety at Work, this book will be welcomed by all
responsible for health and safety. It will also provide an
excellent text for the NEBOSH (National Examination Board in
Occupational Safety and Health) Construction Safety and Health
national certificate.
