Proposed Indicators of Prevention Through Design in Construction Projects
The construction industry has a high accident rate worldwide. Because of these negative figures, there are numerous studies by prestigious authors about how to measure the levels of safety and health in construction through indicators. These indicators can be classified based on the following catego...
