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. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cbr\u003eStrategic Safety Management in Construction and Engineering\u003c\/i\u003e \u003c\/b\u003etakes 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eForeword vii\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAcknowledgements ix\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e1 Safety Management in Construction and Engineering: An Introduction 1\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe importance of the industry 1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eCharacteristics of the construction and engineering sector 2\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhy a book on strategic safety management?
