This edited book makes a substantial and timely contribution to our understanding of a wide range of issues related to COVID-19 and its relationship to occupational safety, health, and well-being (OSHW) in the global construction industry. The editors first provide an introduction to the industry and its poor OSHW history before highlighting some of the broader impacts of the pandemic on the sector. The book is then divided into two sections.
Section One focuses on managing COVID-19 transmission risk. It captures insights, practices, technologies, and lessons learned regarding what has and is being done to prevent or mitigate the risk of COVID-19 transmission among the construction workforce. Construction Safety, Health and Well-being in the COVID-19 Era also details case studies, lessons, and best practices for managing sites and workforces when infections inevitably do occur.
Section Two brings together international chapters discussing the impacts of COVID-19 on the OSHW of the construction workforce both on and off-site, as well as the management of those impacts. Furthermore, this presents implications of the pandemic (at the short-, medium-, and long-term) for other performance measures of construction projects such as cost, schedule, quality, and, most importantly, how the pursuit/non-pursuit of such performance measures have impacted/will impact the OSHW of construction workers and professionals in the industry.
This book addresses the gap in literature by offering global perspectives on the OSHW impacts and implications of COVID-19 in the construction industry and will help its wide readership (including construction industry organizations, professionals, researchers, government bodies/policy makers, and students) to understand a broad suite of issues pertaining to.
