Very good book on Construction Safety Management, June 20, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Construction Safety (Paperback)
If you are interested in Safety management and theory for constuction project this is the book. However, don't think that this is a text on actual safety regulations and standards. It does not cover what many people would consider the "nuts and bolts" of how to maintain a safe worksite. It does a very good job of covering management issues.

Best book on construction safety!, July 21, 1996
By A Customer
This review is from: Construction Safety (Paperback)
We used a pre-publication version of this book in a course
on construction safety that was taught at the University of
Texas by Professor Hinze himself. Hinze is the "guru" of
construction safety, and there are few academic studies on construction safety in
which he was not invloved. The book contains chapters on
subcontractor safety, substance abuse, incentive programs,
problem areas, safety meetings, safety programs, to name
just a few (over 20 chapters in all). Hinze backs up
everything in the book with research results. Much of this
research was done by Hinze or others at the Construction
Industry Institute. I recommend it highly as a textbook for
courses on construction safety, or as a reference for safety
officers, project managers, or supervisors who are working in industry.
