Introduction to Health and Safety in Construction by Phil Hughes
The construction industry is working hard to improve its health and safety record. It is now essential for employers and employees to be aware of the health and safety issues that concern them and demand for qualifications in this area is increasing. The coverage of this book has been directly matched to the Certificate course in Construction Safety and Health from NEBOSH (National Examination Board in Occupational Safety and Health). However, the comprehensive coverage of health and safety topics in a construction context make it relevant for other courses in Construction Design and Management, Construction Safety and Health, and the Built Environment, both in the UK and overseas. It will prove essential reading for the building industry. The text is highly illustrated in full colour, easy to read and includes self-assessment questions taken directly from NEBOSH examinations as well as a study skills chapter. The text is also supported with checklists, report forms and record sheets, making it a valuable reference tool for construction managers, supervisors, designers, building and civil engineers to consult on the day to day issues of health and safety.
"There are many books on the market dedicated to health and safety but few that so comprehensively cover the entire spectrum of the construction process from design through to completion" - From the foreword by George Brumwell CBE, General Secretary, Union of Construction, Allied Trades and Technicians "This study book complements training with a structured approach to give students the tools to allow positive safety management within the construction industry." - John Lacey, FIOSH, RSP, FSIA, MASSE, President of IOSH and the Past Chairman of the Construction Specialist Group "This reference book is an excellent study aid for those engaging in the new NEBOSH Construction Certificate syllabus. The text of this book is well laid out and easy to read. It follows a logical sequence similar to that instigated on a project - namely planning through implementation to review." - Lawrence Webb, MIOSH, RSP, AIEMA, Costain Limited & International SHE Manager
