This edited book presents a significant and timely contribution to
our understanding of a broad range of issues pertaining to COVID-19
and its relationship to occupational safety, health and well-being
(OSHW) in the global construction industry. The editors first
introduce the industry and its poor OSHW history before
highlighting some of the broader impacts of the pandemic on the
sector. The book is then divided into two sections. Section One
focuses on the management of COVID-19 transmission risk. It
captures insights, practices, technologies, and lessons learned in
relation to what has and is being done to prevent or mitigate the
risk of COVID-19 transmission among the construction workforce.
Construction Safety, Health and Well-being in the COVID-19 era also
details case studies, lessons and best practices for managing sites
and workforces when infections inevitably do occur. Section Two
brings together international chapters discussing the impacts of
COVID-19 on the OSHW of the construction workforce both on and off
site as well as the management of those impacts. Furthermore, this
presents implications of the pandemic (at the short, medium, and
long-term) for other performance measures of construction projects
such as cost, schedule, quality, and most importantly how the
pursuit/non-pursuit of such performance measures have impacted/will
impact the OSHW of construction workers and professionals in the
industry. This book addresses the gap in literature by offering
global perspectives on the OSHW impacts and implications of
COVID-19 in the construction industry and will help its wide
readership (including construction industry organisations,
professionals, researchers, government bodies/policy makers, and
students) to understand a broad suite of issues pertaining to
COVID-19 and its relationship to OSHW in construction.
