The state of health, safety and wellbeing (HSW) in the Architecture, Engineering, Construction and
Facility Management (AECFM) sector, without a doubt, requires improvement in both developing and developed countries. While a marginal reduction in accidents, injuries, and fatalities has been recorded in specific industry sub-sectors, the potential of harm to people and damage to properties remains significant. Applications of lessons learnt and innovation lag that of advanced industries such as manufacturing. Research attention is disproportionally focused on the issues and challenges with little detailed attention on the opportunities in the industry and countries for improving HSW. This collection, therefore, presents best practices and case studies that engender continuous improvement (CI). The drivers of CI shared are robust, resonate with practice and promote policy deployment in varying projects and complexity through planning, control, and improvement.
