An important part of an organization's overall safety and health program
involves safety management for contractors. A contractor with a poor safety
program can adversely affect quality, productivity, schedules, and overall cost.
This book explains how to manage project safety and improve the odds of an
injury-free workplace.
If project managers are to apply their judgment wisely, they need to know the
rationale for each requirement, and how to implement it. They must know what is
to be done, who is to do it, and when and how it should be done. The author
considers all these factors.
Construction Site Safety addresses the fundamental elements of a successful
construction safety program. The author explains the industry trends and best
practices that enable job site managers or field engineers to understand the
necessary steps to ensure that contractors have and follow safety guidelines.
