Book excerpt: Excerpt from General Orders on Safety Building Construction: Revised, 1918 Before printing the present edition the committee was again called together to consider certain changes suggested by the experience of the past four years. These changes were of minor importance and were adopted without controversy, ex cept those relating to temporary floors on steel structures. On this subject representatives of the steel contractors and work men were called into consultation by the committee, and the amendments finally adopted were agreed to unanimously. These changes became effective July 6, 1918. In this edition there have also been included a few extracts from the general orders on safety relating to the guarding of machinery, and other hazards found on construction work as well as in factories. These orders are not new, having been in force for several years. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Safe Building Construction: A Treatise Giving in Simplest Forms Possible Practical and Theoretical Rules and Formulae Used in Construction of Buildings and General Instruction Safe building construction is the logical sequence of my former work on Construction, Safe Building. Methods of construction and building materials have changed so radically that this new book seems called for. Much of my former work has been retained, though my object has been to condense - saving the student's time in these busy days while still following the original plan which wasz - to furnish to any earnest student the Opportunity to acquire, so far as books will teach, the knowledge necessary to erect safely any building. While of course, the work will be based strictly on the science of mechanics, all useless theory will be avoided. The object will be to make the articles simply practical. To follow any of the mathematical demonstrations, arithmetic, a rudimentary knowledge of algebra and plane geometry will be sufficient.

This book was released on 2017-11-03 with total page 346 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fireproofing of Steel Buildings The want of any systematized and collected form of in formation ou the subject of the development of the fireproofing of steel buildings and its present most approved and efficient methods of treatment', as recommended and used in the best practice of the day, has induced the author to offer this volume. It is hoped that it may rouse more general interest in a phase of building construction, the full importance of which, from an economic standpoint and from its close rela tion to the safety of human life, still largely remains to be realized in a practical and adequate way. The subject of fireproofing is still in the interesting stage of experimentation, and there is vast opportunity for practical ingenuity to make improvement and new suggestion. Indeed the term fireproof in relation to present imperfect conditions and environments is almost utopian. A building can, at best, be only relatively fire and water-proof. No structure can be considered as a unit, exclusive of its neighbor. But it may be assumed that a building designed and erected in accordance with the recommendations made in the following chapters, will be as nearly fireproof as the surrounding build ings and the character of the contents will permit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although the construction industry employs only five percent of the nation's work force, it suffers 20 percent of the nation's occupational fatalities and 12 percent of all U.S. injuries. Because of this the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) has consolidated their construction standards, compliance assistance, cooperative programs, and technical services to form the Directorate of Construction. Construction sites and operations have become the prime targets for the Directorate of Construction, which has greatly increased its number of inspections, citations and penalties. The Handbook of OSHA Construction Safety and Health is for safety professional, contractor, project manager and owner who has the responsibility of implementing an effective on-site safety and health program. These professionals are now in charge of everything from the safe operation of equipment to the safe removal of hazardous waste from the construction site. It is a practical guide that can be used by the construction industry on existing and future projects and jobsites in the critical area of occupational safety and health. Written using OSHA's Construction standards as a framework, the book provides those responsible for construction safety and health with a definitive guide for eliminating safety and health hazards from construction worksites. In addition, the handbook addresses subjects such as contractor liability, multi-employer sites and focused inspection which are real and time problem areas faced by the construction industry. The Handbook of OSHA Construction Safety and Health contains a model safety and health program, examples of accident analysis and prevention approaches, sample safety and health checklist and forms, and over 300 illustrations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from How to Build a Home: The House Practical; Being Suggestions as to Safety From Fire, Safety to Health, Comfort, Convenience, Durability, and Economy One builds a home, as a rule, but once in a lifetime. Unless an architect or builder by profession, he is liable to make serious mistakes, and to overlook many things which would conduce to the comfort and safety of himself and his family. Even if he be an architect or builder, he will do well not to rely entirely upon his own knowledge, but to consult others. While he will be likely to escape oversights in proportion as he has had experience, especially if he has been systematic in preserving notes from time to time of discoveries and details for which the memory cannot be relied upon, it is safe for him to assume that some of his acquaintances, especially if experts, may know some things which he does not.
