Safe Work Technique

By Dr. H.P. Sinha PhD

Construction supervisors, employees, and executives need to work together to promote safety on job sites.
Mistakes can be costly: People can get hurt or killed and projects can be delayed or cancelled altogether. Companies that fail to provide a safe work environment could face lawsuits.
Written in clear language and illustrated with pictures, this guidebook is easy to understand. Each picture includes captions and information that makes it easy for beginners and longtime employees to avoid accidents and fix problems.
Youll learn fundamentals, such as what items you cant bring into the workplace, how to work in confined spaces, and how to use scaffolding and heavy equipment. Youll also get detailed information on excavations, handling hazardous substances, the proper handling of tools, and proper waste management.
Complying with Health, Safety, Security and Environment guidelines on construction sites is a must for anyone involved with construction projects. Avoid problems and quickly step into action when something goes wrong with Safe Work Technique.
