Construction Safety and Loss Control Program Manual
M.E. Sharpe Publishers
$99.95
If your current safety program leaves you and your company unnecessarily exposed to major liability, let the Construction Safety & Loss Control Program Manual be your Safety Net.
Nobody -not your insurance agent, and not even your own attorney, - will tell you precisely what to do to implement a safety and loss control program that will be favorably looked upon in the event of a serious accident or loss.
Even with the "right" insurance, the costs of jobsite accidents add up in three areas: Physical Injury and Human Loss, Jobsite Down Time, and Increased Insurance Premiums. Add to all this the cost of possible litigation, and a single accident can put some companies out of business.
The typical construction project is made up of armies of separate companies. Each day, the project is visited by "representatives" of every description. Each one of these participants and visitors is exposing your company to major potential liability. Protect yourself from lawsuits, OSHA penalties and other problems resulting from jobsite accidents.
Take steps to avoid the human tragedy in a responsible and effective manner. This book will help you build the most complete, comprehensive, and easy- to-apply safety program targeted exclusively for the construction.
