ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction: Health Hazard Control is a valuable resource for improving management of occupational health in the construction industry. This third volume in a three-book series covers a broad range of essential topics, emphasising proactive measures to prevent health hazards from becoming risks, thereby ensuring the safety and well-being of the workforce.
The chapters use the five levels of the hierarchy of control to support effective management of occupational health, and include coverage of
• working conditions, roles and hazard control measures on site
• recognising health hazards in construction
• occupational health issues such as musculoskeletal, upper limb and spine disorders, as well as asthma and dermatitis
• controlling exposure to chemical, biological and physical hazards
• new chapters on dust hazards, mental health hazards, heat stress and weather hazards, and epidemic and pandemic diseases.
ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction: Health Hazard Control offers broad international coverage relevant to practice and research. It serves as a valuable resource for managers overseeing construction worksites and professionals across built environment disciplines as well as academics, researchers and students at all levels.
