Refurbishment Projects by David Oloke is a qualitative reference tool for exploring health and safety management and risk management of alteration, renovation and refurbishment projects. As the need to make old stock more energy efficient increases in line with the requirements of sustainable development, the number of extensions, loft conversions, basement constructions and other retrofit projects, has increased.Refurbishment Projects explores the planning of alteration and refurbishment construction projects, involving complex activities such as collecting and analysing various sources of information related to the existing structure, end-of-lifecycle operations and the safety risks of potentially unknown conditions.Refurbishment Projectsprovides a better understanding of alteration, refurbishment and renovation of projects and their uniqueness in terms of health and safety managementoutlines key health and safety considerations that must be explored to successfully manage and deliver a refurbishment projectassists practitioners involved with refurbishment projects to undertake their health and safety responsibilities effectivelyfacilitates the education and training of students, graduate Engineers and other construction professionals in the matters of health and safety management in alteration and refurbishment projects.Refurbishment Projects is essential reading for practicing engineers with varied duty roles under the CDM Regulations. Students, graduates, architects, builders, surveyors, building designers, contractors and others engaged in the construction industry will gain an understanding of planning, decision making and implementation of alteration, refurbishment and renovation projects.

ICE Manual of Health and Safety in Construction: Management Control is a valuable guide to the safety issues that can arise on construction projects, and the requirements for effective health and safety practices. This third volume in a three-book series covers a wide range of essential topics relating to safety hazards in construction, emphasising the need prevent safety hazards from becoming risks to ensure a safer working environment for all.
