Hi,

I am looking to go back into construction after 5 years away. So as you will appreciate my knowledge is a little bit rusty.

I am looking for a book which I can use as a reference guide. I have looked at the book used for NEBOSH Construction but feel this may be a little basic ?

Are there any other books someone can recommend for me please.

Many thanks

'Managing Health & Safety in Building & Construction', T Clarke, Butterworth-Heinemann, 1999
'Construction Safety Management', R E Levitt and N M Samelson, McGraw-Hill, 1987 and 1993 editions
'Human Factors/Ergonomics for Building and Construction', ed M Helander, John Wiley & Sons, 1981

The websites of American universities that offer posgraduate courses in ergonomics e.g. Cornell, University of South Florida, also offer lots of tools relevant to safety in construction management

"Managing Health and Safety in Construction" (authors Hughes and Ferrett") covers all of the NEBOSH Construction material and is an excellent reference book that can be dipped into occasionally.
