A Study on Potential Physical Hazards at Construction Sites / Salim Mkubwa Salim ...[et al.]

Statistics have shown that the number of fatality and permanent disablement cases due to accident at construction sites in Malaysia is one of the highest in comparison to other sectors. Therefore, there is an urgent need to mitigate this problem. In general, there are three basic steps that should b...
