Safety Planning David V. MacCollum Construction Safety Planning is a
comprehensive, practical, step-by-step guide for those who design
and oversee large and small projects. Designed to facilitate
compliance with new OSHA objectives, it presents, for those who are
responsible for construction safety, what questions to ask in order
to avoid conditions that invite injury or death on site.
The book shows how to integrate safety
planning into existing design and construction scheduling in order
to avoid duplicating paperwork that is normally associated with
safety planning. Advice is given on how to involve all supervisory
personnel as hazard hunters, so that timely prevention measures can
be taken.
Author David V. MacCollum is a forty-five-year
veteran safety engineer who participated in the development of
safety planning concepts used by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers on
big dam projects in the Pacific Northwest during the 1950s. In this
clearly written reference he highlights the concepts and practices
that reduced construction deaths by 75 percent and are today still
enabling the Corps of Engineers to enjoy the same reduction
nationwide, when compared to similar work not under its
supervision—the end result being savings of several billion dollars
each year.
The risk of death on the job for construction
workers is five times greater than that of the average American
worker. A new OSHA era will change that. With this book, everyone
working in the field of construction—from design to maintenance—will
have the tools and knowledge to make a difference.
