About this publication
Applied Construction: Health and Safety aims to fill the gap between the theory and application of construction health and safety. It teaches users to manage construction health and safety through the practical application of knowledge and understanding the legal requirements for construction health and safety at work. It explores the implementation of health and safety management systems, the identification of workplace hazards, and methods of hazard control.
