Abstract
In addition to efficient scheduling of handling, accidents may be significantly reduced by ensuring that there are sufficient mechanical aids for handling construction boards, doors, windows, fittings, etc., in the machinery and equipment plan on site. The information systems of a construction enterprise should be developed in the direction of tying project planning tightly to production (i.e. actual construction) planning. Details which improve occupational safety should be clearly marked on all drawings. In choosing a lifting machine or device for a given job, the following factors should be carefully considered: sufficient knowledge of the machinery available and suitability to the prevailing conditions of the machine or device chosen.

N.B. Descriptive scope is a count of how many of the five facets of empirical research are indicated by the words used in title, abstract and keywords. It is not intended as a judgement on the research; merely a count of the kind of word we would expect to indicate Phenomenon, Concepts, Theoretical framing, Empirical techniques, Analytical techniques. If all five are present, then a code of “5 PCTEA” will indicate this. If you feel the coding for this record is questionable, we welcome discussion around the terms we matched or the way we categorized them. The facet you would expect may not be coded, or a facet may be coded inappropriately. This can also bear on a larger question, of which facets should be treated as defining in construction management research. Please get in touch, and we will look at it. More details here
