Book excerpt: The purpose of this manual is to provide clear and helpful information for maintaining gravel roads. Very little technical help is available to small agencies that are responsible for managing these roads. Gravel road maintenance has traditionally been "more of an art than a science" and very few formal standards exist. This manual contains guidelines to help answer the questions that arise concerning gravel road maintenance such as: What is enough surface crown? What is too much? What causes corrugation? The information is as nontechnical as possible without sacrificing clear guidelines and instructions on how to do the job right.

Book excerpt: Experts discuss improving job quality in low-wage industries including retail, residential construction, hospitals and long-term healthcare, restaurants, manufacturing, and long-haul trucking. Americans work harder and longer than our counterparts in other industrialized nations. Yet prosperity remains elusive to many. Workers in such low-wage industries as retail, restaurants, and home construction live from paycheck to paycheck, juggling multiple jobs with variable schedules, few benefits, and limited prospects for advancement. These bad outcomes are produced by a range of industry-specific factors, including intense competition, outsourcing and subcontracting, failure to enforce employment standards, overt discrimination, outmoded production and management systems, and inadequate worker voice. In this volume, experts look for ways to improve job quality in the low-wage sector. They offer in-depth examinations of specific industries—long-term healthcare, hospitals and outpatient care, retail, residential construction, restaurants, manufacturing, and long-haul trucking—that together account for more than half of all low-wage jobs. The book's sector view allows the contributors to address industry-specific variations that shape operational choices about work. Drawing on deep industry knowledge, they consider important distinctions within and between these industries; the financial, institutional, and structural incentives that shape the choices employers make; and what it would take to make more jobs better jobs.

Kirui and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 43 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Injuries and fatalities cases in road construction projects are rampant, however this can be reduced with a goal to attain zero lost time injuries if the role of risk management is critically involved and considered. The objectives of this research were to evaluate the role of risk management team to reduce or eliminate risks in road construction sites, and to evaluate site environmental conditions that road construction employees are subjected to. A five question survey was administered to workers at site, and risk management team to list hazards and risks that workers were exposed to as well as appropriate control measures. Survey responses were used to perform a risk analysis that determined the likelihood and severity of risks. From the risk analysis, it was evident that construction workers were not adequately protected from dump trucks bucking up, whole body vibration, and flaggers' exposure to moving traffic. It was recommended that dump trucks should be installed with cameras to improve blind spot vision, acquisition of equipment with minimal vibration output, and provision of signage instead of flaggers, to direct moving traffic.
