Synopsis

The construction industry, and thus the construction safety industry, is constantly changing. This book is a updated reference for students and young practitioners in the occupational health and safety field in Hong Kong. The text includes chapters introducing the history of construction safety in Hong Kong as well as up-to-date legislation and cases related to construction activities. Notably, the case studies included, while highlighting the significant role of legislation and the court system in the field, have been succinctly analysed and only discuss the applicable aspects of the cases at length, making the case analyses accessible to students with varying levels of legal background. Later chapters focus on Hong Kong-specific construction activities, including the operation and safety system use for tower cranes, mobile cranes, and bamboo scaffolding.

Taken together, the book explains the context of Hong Kong’s current construction safety systems in addition to providing readers with real life examples, checklists that can be applied on site, discussion questions, and a road map for additional reading. It will be the first comprehensive book written on these topics, making it an essential reference for those in the field.
