ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction: Safety Hazard Control is a valuable guide to the safety issues that can arise on construction projects, and the requirements for effective health and safety practices. This first volume in a three-book series covers a wide range of essential topics relating to safety hazards in construction, emphasising the need prevent safety hazards from becoming risks to ensure a safer working environment for all. The chapters offer balanced coverage of risk control measures, detailing changes to the work environment to reduce or eliminate hazards, as well as behavioural risk controls.
Topics include safety rules, hazard identification throughout the construction lifecycle, and hazard assessment methods. Dedicated chapters cover a wide range of safety hazards, including

• transportation, vehicle movement and lifting operations
• design and operation of temporary traffic management systems
• fire and explosion hazards
• working on, in, over or near water.
