Although the construction and engineering sector makes important
contributions to the economic, social, and environmental objectives
of a nation, it has a notorious reputation for being an unsafe
industry in which to work. Despite the fact that safety performance
in the industry has improved, injuries and fatalities still occur
frequently. To address this, the industry needs to evolve further
by integrating safety into all decision making processes. Strategic
Safety Management in Construction and Engineering takes a broad
view of safety from a strategic decision making and management
perspective with a particular focus on the need to balance and
integrate science and art when implementing safety management. The
principles covered here include the economics of safety, safety
climate and culture, skills for safety, safety training and
learning, safety in design, risk management, building information
modelling, and safety research methods and the research-practice
nexus. They are integrated into a strategic safety management
framework which comprises strategy development, implementation, and
evaluation. Practical techniques are included to apply the
principles in the context of the construction and engineering
industry and projects. Case studies are also provided to
demonstrate the localised context and applications of the
principles and techniques in practice.
