Construction Project Safety

This introduction to construction safety for construction management personnel takes a project-based approach to present the potential hazards of concern and how to mitigate or prevent them in construction. After introducing Accident Prevention Programs and OSHA compliance requirements, Construction Project Safety features an activity-based model, using a building's construction sequence starting with site construction and ending with interior finish. Using the major construction activities as the learning context, the book will demonstrate the method of job hazard analysis that construction personnel must be familiar with. Working through an actual building project throughout the book, readers are able to comprehend and apply their knowledge better than rote memorization of dry regulations found in competing books. In addition to engaging photographs, drawings, and contract documentation, an online 3D BIM model serves to help visualize the onsite scenarios.
