Automation in Construction toward Resilience Robotics Smart Materials and Intelligent Systems

While the word automation may conjure images of robots taking over jobs the reality is much more nuanced. In construction for instance automation is less likely to diminish employment opportunities than it is to increase productivity. Indeed automation alongside the global need for new and updated infrastructure and better and more affordable housing can help shape the direction of the construction industry. The key will be anticipating and preparing for the shift in part by developing new skills in the current and future workforce. This book presents all aspects of automation in construction pertaining to the use of information technologies in design engineering construction technologies and maintenance and management of constructed facilities.

Industrial Hygiene Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach

Over the past forty years the Industrial Hygiene profession has significantly grown and is expected to continue to grow as workplaces evolve in the development management and usage of hazardous materials. This growth in the profession is also related to the shift in public knowledge and perception regarding the acceptance of the health risk from activities performed at work and home. As time progresses workplaces are being regulated to not only minimize the health imparts to the workforce but also decrease the likelihood of negatively impacting the environment. Society has become more educated on the potential impacts on human health and the environment that hazardous materials activities and environments can pose. As such there has been a noticeable decrease in the acceptance of risk by workers and the public. The accepted standard of performance for Industrial Hygiene has grown beyond compliance but now also focuses on improving existing processes and practices to create a workplace free from work related injury and illness. Features: Shows application of risk mitigating techniques for industrial hygienists Explains the definition of risk and how it applies to health and safety management Defines the need for quality data management and continuous improvement in assessments Describes the role of the Industrial Hygienist and risk management when responding to emergencies Industrial Hygiene: Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach focuses on the implementation of Industrial Hygiene using a risk-based approach in an operational environment. The approaches and methods described in this book are designed to assist the Industrial Hygienist in managing workplace risks including risks associated with anticipation recognition evaluation and hazard control processes. | Industrial Hygiene Improving Worker Health through an Operational Risk Approach

Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector Edited Contributions to the International Conference on Professionalism in the Built Heritage S

Professionalism entails the conduct aims and qualities that characterise a profession. The term is also used to describe education and training standards for the knowledge and skills necessary to perform a specific profession. In practice professional standards of practice and ethics are agreed upon and maintained by recognised associations. In the past professionalism has not occupied a central place in built heritage discussions policy and research. Recent changes in terms of public attitudes and sustainability concerns have had a cumulative impact on the requirements for professionalism in the built heritage sector. The future success of the sector will depend on the availability of adequate professionals and an appropriately skilled workforce. In practice the built heritage sector involves much more than interventions to conserve preserve rehabilitate or restore a heritage structure. Bringing a project to fruition begins with the formulation of a policy proceeds to the design and execution of intervention strategies and ends with ongoing maintenance of heritage structures and related future programming. This process requires sufficient interactions between different professionals to obtain a common vision and hold that vision throughout a project. At the same time the sustainability of the sector is also defined by effective governance societal support and cultural rationales. Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector contains reports on the lectures of the international conference organized by the Raymond Lemaire International Centre for Conservation (Leuven Belgium February 5th-8th 2018). The contributions in this volume meet the increasing demand for shared information to support the transition towards a more sustainable conservation process. The volume consists of three main parts that deal with practice-led research or scientific research: Profiles and capacities Education training and quality labels and Obstacles and changes. | Professionalism in the Built Heritage Sector Edited Contributions to the International Conference on Professionalism in the Built Heritage S
