About the Book

This companion guide to CIRIA SP151 Site safety handbook provides practical advice on recognising the health risks that may be met with in the construction industry and the best ways to minimise them. The book begins by considering the need for effective management of health on site and the importance of improving the industry's health culture. It highlights the biological, chemical, physical and psychological hazards that may face those working on site and emphasises that it is everyone's duty to reduce those dangers as much as possible. Advice is given on site inductions, personal protective equipment, first-aiders, accident reporting and health screening. The core section of the book, on the hazards associated with particular construction activities and materials, and their effects on specific parts of the body, is also supplied in PDF form on a CD-ROM, so that the information can be made available in handouts. The CD also contains PowerPoint slides for use in training sessions and site inductions. Specific guidance is given on dealing with hazardous materials to avoid ill-effects on health. The handbook is essential reading for all who are involved at any level in the construction industry, including engineers, surveyors, consultants, site managers, site operatives, students and young construction industry professionals.
