In order to address safety management in construction and engineering, this book adopts a comprehensive approach to safety from a strategic management and decision-making viewpoint. 

The design, development, execution, and evaluation of safety strategies are among the strategic choices made by senior management and the board of directors. 

The significance of balancing and combining the "science" and "art" of safety management is also discussed in the book, along with an examination of how top management and on-site workers view and practise safety. 

While case studies are offered to show how safety concepts, principles, and techniques are implemented in practise, the emphasis is on the localised on-project-site environment for safety plan implementation, monitoring, and evaluation.
