ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction

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. This is the third edition of the ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction. Previous editions were published as a single volume; for this edition we are splitting the content into three separate books.
