A practical guide
for eliminating safety and health hazards from construction worksites, the
Handbook of OSHA Construction Safety and Health addresses the occupational
safety and health issues faced by those working in the construction industry.
The book covers a vast range of issues including program development, safety and
health program implementation, intervention and prevention of construction
incidents, regulatory interpretations, understanding, and compliance, OSHA's
expectations, health and safety hazards faced by those working in the
construction industry, and sources of information.
Highlighting contract liability and multi-employer sites, this second edition
features updates for construction regulations, construction job audit, training
requirements, and OSHA regulations. It includes new record-keeping guidelines
and forms with additional material on focused inspections. Containing updated
contact information for the newest agencies, the text also presents a model
safety and health program, examples of accident analysis and prevention
approaches, sample safety and health checklists, and more than 200
illustrations.
Taking a comprehensive approach to construction safety and health, the authors
address issues seldom discussed in the construction arena such as perceptions
and motivation while also discussing issues gleaned from the safety and health
disciplines such as the analyzing of incidents and accident prevention
techniques. Including an in-depth discussion of regulations promulgated by the
Occupational Safety and Health Administration, the book lays the foundation upon
which to build stronger safety and health initiatives, while intervening and
preventing jobsite deaths, injuries, and illnesses. 984 pp.
