From the Publisher:

Removing major hazards from the construction site before the workers arrive
is smarter, easier, and more cost-effective than controlling worker
behavior on a dangerous site. This resource provides a step-by-step method
for identifying and controlling hazards before construction begins.

From the Back Cover:

IDENTIFY AND CONTROL SAFETY HAZARDS ON CONSTRUCTION SITES TO REDUCE WORKER INJURIES AND INCREASE PRODUCTIVITY

Construction Safety Engineering Principles equips you with a step-by-step methodology for identifying and controlling potential hazards before construction begins.

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 you to:

Design and plan safer construction sites for residential, commercial, and industrial projects
Correct safety problems before construction begins
Dramatically reduce costly worked injuries and job delays
Increase productivity and create a more cost-effective project

IMPROVE SAFETY CONDITIONS ON ANY CONSTRUCTION SITE!
