Routledge Fall Prevention Through Design in Construction

Improve construction site safety by rethinking the designer's role. While traditional methods leave worker safety to contractors, this book demonstrates how designers can exert a significant influence during the concept, preliminary, and detailed design phases. This research-based text introduces the conceptual frameworks needed to build a mobile computing-enabled knowledge management system. By integrating technology with design, the book provides a path toward reducing the high rate of falls in the construction industry. It bridges the gap between architectural design and real-world safety implementation, offering new knowledge for professionals looking to advance safety standards through better engineering and digital tools.
