Safety of RMAA works is an almost uncharted topic of rising
importance internationally. Small construction contractors are
particularly dependant on RMAA work, especially during times of
recession, and they undertake more risks on these jobs than large
companies do. This book is based on unique international research
and consultancy projects which detail, investigate, and suggest
solutions to the specific challenges of safety in RMAA works, based
on case studies. Starting with an overview of safety in the wider
construction industries of developed countries, the first half of
this book also provides a comprehensive summary of relevant rules,
regulations, and the resulting safety performances. The systems in
the UK, US and Hong Kong are described and contrasted, giving the
reader an understanding of how different regulatory approaches have
yielded a variety of results. From this solid introduction,
specific problems observed in RMAA work are examined through case
studies, with reference to the underlying cultural and demographic
factors, and a variety of practical engineering and management
solutions are explored. This important and practical international
work is essential reading for postgraduate students of health and
safety in construction, construction project management, or
construction in developing countries, as well as policy-makers and
construction project managers.
