Introduction to Health and Safety in Construction, 2nd Edition is essential reading for the building industry. The information contained within will help employers and employees be more aware of the health and safety issues that concern them and learn how best to improve safety records.

The easy to read text is complemented by full color illustrations and self-assessment questions taken directly from NEBOSH examinations, as well as a useful 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.

Information provided in Introduction to Health and Safety in Construction 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 here in the US. 480 pp.
