Publisher's Synopsis
This book provides easy to understand health, safety and environment information. It has been refreshed for 2012 and includes clear illustrations and practical guidance for construction workers.
It supports operatives and specialists who are preparing for the CITB-ConstructionSkills' Health, safety and environment test through providing all the information that they need to pass the test.
The content follows the new test structure, and includes new chapters on respiratory risks and environment, as well as individual specialist chapters. Note - this is a revision guide and does not contain the question and answers to the new Health, safety and environment test.
The structure of the book has been updated, introducing a new section layout. The chapters are now grouped into the following sections; legal and management, health and welfare, general safety, high risk activities and environment. In addition, new chapters have been created, including respiratory risks, site transport safety and waste management. Each chapter begins with a summary of what you should expect from your site and employer, and what your site and employer should expect from you.
GE 707 is also the official supporting document for the CITB-ConstructionSkills' Site Safety Plus one day health and safety awareness course.
