Foreword to Strategic Safety Management in Construction and Engineering

Two thousand years in the past, the Roman Statesman Marcus Tullius Cicero argued that “the security of the folks shall be the very best regulation.” An emphasis on well being and security and the safety of all human beings ought to be the mark of any superior society.

Nonetheless, by some means, well being and security (or “elf ’n security”) appear to have acquired a unfavorable, limiting fame.

Most of my new undergraduate college students admit that they’ve had good, thrilling actions in their colleges and schools canceled due to “elf ’n security”.

And but, in a evaluation of the exemplary success on all fronts of the development of the London 2012 Olympic Park, Common the Lord Dannatt (British Military Chief of the Common Employees 2006–2009) discovered that “well being and security was not simply an annoying millstone hung round center administration’s neck, but it surely was the enabling theme on which the undertaking senior management staff might discovered the bedrock of operational effectivity resulting in completion below finances and forward of schedule.”

This ebook presents a strategic perspective on building security administration offering each a historic and modern commentary. It offers with economics, local weather, and tradition, abilities, coaching and studying in addition to the necessary modern matter of security in design.

The ebook additionally explores analysis strategies in the area and the analysis to apply challenges. I’ve recognized the creator for a few years and been privileged to be taught extra about his work in this necessary space.

I commend this ebook to you.
