Safety, health and welfare on construction sites: A training manual

This manual, a revised and expanded version of a 1990 edition, will help consider safety, health and welfare conditions on construction sites in and learn about possible solutions to the encountered problems. It has been developed primarily for construction site workers, their representatives and the workers’ immediate supervisors.

Instructional material | 01 January 1995
The manual is intended to be complementary to the ILO code of practice, Safety and health in construction, published by the ILO in 1992, which contains practical recommendations for the use of all those, both in the public and private sectors, who have responsibility for safety and health in construction. The contents will, however, also be of direct concern to employers and management on whom many of the duties and responsibilities fall for creating safe and healthy working conditions.

It was published with the expressed hope that it will be adapted to local working practices and translated into the language of the end-user.
