Applied Construction

There has been increasing emphasis in South Africa on improving the overall health and safety performance of the construction industry to acceptable levels comparable with those of countries such as Sweden, Australia and the United Kingdom. 

Further, the legislative and regulatory compliance requirements for construction health and safety in South Africa are considerable. Meeting these requirements for the initiated is extremely challenging in the absence of practical guidance. This book is therefore ideal as a prescribed practical text for university level students who are pursing qualifications and careers in the construction and engineering sectors and need to be competent in satisfying these construction health and safety requirements.
