This book explores the formation of small and medium-sized construction company's (SME) compliance with health and safety issues in developing countries. Little has been written about the formation of SME contractors' health and safety compliance for developing countries, especially, in the sub-sahara regions where construction and infrastructure development activities have significantly increased in order to serve the development mandate of those countries. Thus, this book will provides insight into construction safety for SMEs, as well as health and safety compliance, and its policy implementation trends and development.

An important part of an organization's overall safety and health program involves safety management for contractors. A contractor with a poor safety program can adversely affect quality, productivity, schedules, and overall cost. This book explains how to manage project safety and improve the odds of an injury-free workplace. If project mana

This book covers the economics of construction safety, such as the asymmetric information of different construction practitioners in Hong Kong, studies feminism in Australia’s traditionally male-dominated construction industry, and researches an efficient Small-Scale Contractors’ construction health and safety performance management in Zambia. It also constructs the risk rating matrix and assesses occupational hazards identification and risk Assessment in Kaligandaki’s Construction Project. Besides, it throws light on construction safety informatics, such as scaffolds safety via rule-based safety checking and BIM. It compares safety awareness in academic databases in construction, manufacturing, traffic, and health and food industries. It studies construction, real estate hazard, and urban renewal hazard articles indexed on the Web of Science. It conducts a systematic literature review on safety culture. Lastly, it reviewed refurbishment and demolition work in Hong Kong’s legal databases.

This book addresses an increasingly important area in the construction industry. Case studies are used extensively to illustrate important points and refer to current successful safety management techniques.
