Excerpt from Safety in Building Construction So far as we are aware, the edition of Safety in Building Construction that was published by the travelers insurance company in 1916 was the first book to be issued in which accident prevention in connection with construction work was discussed in a manner even roughly adequate to the importance of the subject. In the five years that have since elapsed, various improvements have been made in the methods and practices employed, due to more extended ex perience and to a more careful investigation of the causes of accidents in this line of work. The present edition has been brought up to date with respect to these innovations, and several sections have been ex panded so as to give a more detailed description of certain hazards and the remedies for them. An entirely new section on Mixing and Pouring Concrete has also been added. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books. Find more at ...
