Focusing on construction safety, this book explores the integration of informatics and econometrics to enhance safety knowledge sharing. It highlights the use of information technology in developing a construction safety index through analytic hierarchy processes and examines safety claims using structural equation and dynamic panel models. Additionally, it delves into mathematical and econometric models to assess the safety practices of construction professionals, providing a comprehensive approach to improving safety in the industry.

Focusing on construction safety issues, the book analyzes on-site safety measures through an economist's lens, drawing examples from both emerging and developed countries, including China, India, Australia, and Hong Kong. It explores the role of mobile technology, such as apps on Android and iOS, in facilitating knowledge sharing about construction safety. Aimed at researchers and experts, it also serves as a useful resource for graduate students interested in this critical field.

Focusing on the application of information technologies in construction safety, the book presents a comprehensive analysis through case studies, literature reviews, and interviews. It explores innovative IT solutions implemented globally, supported by numerous figures, tables, and practical examples. While aimed at researchers and experts, it also serves as a valuable resource for graduate students seeking to understand the evolving landscape of construction safety through technology.

The symbiosis between the law, economics and finance is evidenced in our daily lives.

A close-to-ideal blend of suburb and city, speedy construction of towers of Babylon, the sparkling proportion of glass and steel buildings’ facade at night showcase the wisdom of humans. They also witness the footsteps, sweats and tears of architects and engineers. Unfortunately, these signatures of human civilizations are swathed in towering figures of construction accidents. Fretting about these on sites, different countries adopt different measures on sites. This book firstly sketches the construction accidents on sites, followed by a review on safety measures in some of the developing countries such as Bermuda, Egypt, Kuwait and China; as well as developed countries, for example, the United States, France and Singapore. It also highlights the enormous compensation costs with the courts’ experiences in the United Kingdom and Hong Kong.
