Summary:

This book covers the details of computer-aided tools & techniques for improving work culture and minimizing accidents. The construction industry has been considered for employing the highest number of workmen but at the same time, it is also known as a poorly organized sector because of peculiarity in construction. Since construction project activity keeps changing on an hourly basis, it becomes difficult to manage the safety of workers or workplace and therefore, it stands as the second accident-prone industry. Several tools and techniques are introduced in controlling construction accidents concerning time and improvements are recorded. This book has briefly covered various challenges encountered, gaps in implementation, technological developments, and various methods/techniques to reduce construction accidents and highlights of research need for overall improvement of safety. This book is essentially helpful for students, researchers, faculty, and industry professionals. .
