Many organizations waste money on costly construction and renovation projects that do not fit the users' needs. But your organization can eliminate unneeded construction costs and keep large projects on track with the simple but systematic approach to defining building user requirements presented in the second edition of Facilities Planning. The author's approach is applicable to virtually any kind of facility at any stage of planning, and is suitable for small companies or large complex projects in bigger organizations. Both comprehensive and practical, it can be put to immediate use in helping corporate planners, people on facilities committees, and building professionals to differentiate building-user wants from needs; decide to lease, buy, renovate, or sell; improve communication with designers, architects, and contractors; and develop a master plan responsive to changing user needs. Facilities Planning breaks the fundamentals of the user requirements method into easy-to-accomplish tasks, accompanied by worksheets and forms to fill out each step of the way. The book explains how to extract and document critical user data and communicate it to building designers. You'll find ideas for using a computer to manage information on larger, more complex projects, and recommendations for staffing and running the project. To keep readers completely up-to-date on the latest developments in facilities planning, this completely revised edition features new chapters on space management and utilization as well as a glossary of key terms and concepts. "The importance of an orderly, comprehensive method for defining user requirements and packaging them for designers increases with the size and complexity of the project," says the author. With the second edition of Facilities Planning, readers will find a proven method that will satisfy the changing demands of users, planners, and designers, and keep projects on schedule - and under budget.

Facilities Planning: User Requirements Method

SAFETY AND HEALTH FOR ENGINEERS 
A comprehensive resource for making products, facilities, processes, and operations safe for workers, users, and the public 
Ensuring the health and safety of individuals in the workplace is vital on an interpersonal level but is also crucial to limiting the liability of companies in the event of an onsite injury. The Bureau of Labor Statistics reported over 4,700 fatal work injuries in the United States in 2020, most frequently in transportation-related incidents. The same year, approximately 2.7 million workplace injuries and illnesses were reported by private industry employers. According to the National Safety Council, the cost in lost wages, productivity, medical and administrative costs is close to 1.2 trillion dollars in the US alone. It is imperative—by law and ethics—for engineers and safety and health professionals to drive down these statistics by creating a safe workplace and safe products, as well as maintaining a safe environment. 
Safety and Health for Engineers is considered the gold standard for engineers in all specialties, teaching an understanding of many components necessary to achieve safe workplaces, products, facilities, and methods to secure safety for workers, users, and the public. Each chapter offers information relevant to help safety professionals and engineers in the achievement of the first canon of professional ethics: to protect the health, safety, and welfare of the public. The textbook examines the fundamentals of safety, legal aspects, hazard recognition and control, the human element, and techniques to manage safety decisions. In doing so, it covers the primary safety essentials necessary for certification examinations for practitioners. 
Readers of the fourth edition of Safety and Health for Engineers readers will also find: Updates to all chapters, informed by research and references gathered since the last publication The most up-to-date information on current policy, certifications, regulations, agency standards, and the impact of new technologies, such as wearable technology, automation in transportation, and artificial intelligence New international information, including U.S. and foreign standards agencies, professional societies, and other organizations worldwide Expanded sections with real-world applications, exercises, and 164 case studies An extensive list of references to help readers find more detail on chapter contents A solution manual available to qualified instructors 
Safety and Health for Engineers is an ideal textbook for courses in safety engineering around the world in undergraduate or graduate studies, or in professional development learning. It also is a useful reference for professionals in engineering, safety, health, and associated fields who are preparing for credentialing examinations in safety and health.\nFrom the Back Cover\nA comprehensive resource for making products, facilities, processes, and operations safe for workers, users, and the public
