| Summary |
"The Annotated Dictionary of Construction Safety and Health covers the most common types of risks or hazards that impact the safety and health of construction workers. Arranged in alphabetical order for ease-of-use, the dictionary meshes regulations, common sense, and practical construction work aspects in a logical style."--BOOK JACKET. "This book provides an easy-to-use guide to safety issues, presents training programs in accordance with OSHA Standards; describes elements of a successful construction safety program; identifies safety and health hazards in the construction industry, recommends the controls, and explains the applicable OSHA standards; and discusses the benefits and ways to attain OSHA compliance."--BOOK JACKET |
