Integrated Management Systems for Construction: Quality, Environment and Safety

Integrated management systems (IMS) are an innovative way of handling the plethora of management functions and procedures that are applied throughout major construction projects.  Contracting companies use management systems to shape and define the corporate arrangement of their business activities, translating these into operational procedures for application to the construction projects they undertake. The management of quality, environment, and safety are at the forefront of systems evolution where the integration of these traditionally independent and dedicated standards-based and process-orientated systems can provide the potential to deliver greater organisational efficiency and effectiveness. This is the first textbook to cover each of the international standards for quality, safety and environment (ISO9000, ISO14001 and ISO18001) and to discuss integrating them. This book provides a detailed yet accessible text to support the study of quality, environment, and safety management systems on professionally accredited undergraduate courses throughout the built environment and for advanced postgraduate courses in construction, project, and engineering management.  It is also an indispensible reference for construction professionals working for principal contractors, subcontractors and construction industry supply chain organisations.

Many client organisations occupy large and often diverse property estates which require significant expenditure on maintenance, alterations, refurbishment or small-scale new building work. Effective organisation and efficient allocation of resources are essential to ensure that the works are carried out successfully. This book provides a detailed introduction to small works procurement and management within the large client organisation, a significant sector of the construction industry which has hitherto been neglected by researchers. In the large organisational context, characterised by large property holdings perhaps over wide geographic areas, the importance of ensuring maximum efficiency of resource use is crucial. If the regular and numerous work which is required throughout the year is not carried out in line with organisational goals then the core business will suffer.The book focuses on the suitability, efficiency and effectiveness of procurement, organisation and management of small works, and outlines the main stages in the formulation and implementation of well-defined and measurable objectives. Overall it will enable the reader to understand the decision factors involved in designing a small works procurement strategy. The Procurement and Management of Small Works and Minor Maintenance is an indispensible reference for all facilities managers, consultants and contractors. It is also useful reading for undergarduate and postgraduate courses in building, construction management, maintenance and facilities management.

Grief is something that we all must deal with at some point in our life. It cannot be escaped by any of us. The Bible tells us that "it is appointed unto man once to die." But it is not something that we know how to handle very well, especially when it comes to helping others navigate through everything that comes with it: shock, denial, anger, depression, loneliness, etc. Pastor Alan Griffith pulls from his over thirty years of ministry, as well as the loss of his wife to help us minister more effectively to those who have lost a loved one and to understand "What Not to Say to a Grieving Heart." There are some things that may be true but not helpful, some things that are not true at all, and some things that just should not be said period. Sometimes the best way to minister to a grieving heart is to say nothing at all. Most people want to be of some comfort to those who are grieving, but they just don't know what to say or do to make a difference. If you are looking at this book, you are one of those people who want to make a difference in someone's life. This book will help you better minister to those who have experienced a great loss in their life.

Much has been written about the combat aircraft that the United States built in their many variants and fielded in their tens of thousands during WWII, but it may be useful to briefly review that list again: B-17, B-24, B-25, B-26, B-32, B-29, P-38, P-39, P-40, P-47, P-51, A-20, A-26, A-31/35, SBD/A-24, SB2C/A-25, F4F/FM Wildcat, F6F, F4U, TBF, PBY, PBM and a number of others produced in numbers under 1000, such as the Mars and Coronado. And this list does not even consider the number of transports, liaison and training aircraft that were built. In looking at this list it is important to note that only two of these aircraft were actually designed and flown prior to 1937 - the PBY and the Boeing Model 299, the B-17's predecessor . NONE of the others were designed prior to 1937, but all the others had at least been committed to paper and many had flown prior to the U.S.'s entry into WII in December, 1941. So while the incredible industrial might of the U.S. has been often and deservedly talked about, the amazing design and intellectual might behind it has been given very short shrift. The authors have dug deeply into original military and manufacturer's files to provide a look at dozens of aircraft that were designed and submitted but either lost in subsequent competitions to those built or were examined and rejected as independent submissions. Some examples: * Bell's Model 3, 4, 11, 13, 16 and 22 fighter proposals, * Fairchild Model 85 twin-Ranger-engine-powered fighter, * XP-72 production version * Hughes D-2/XP-73/XA-37 and D-5 twin-engine Duramold wooden attack aircraft * Curtiss XP-71, a massive twin-engine bomber destroyer * Martin 207 "convoy fighter" shown in two of its versions * Burnelli XBA-1 and BX-AB-3 twin-engine light bomber/attack aircraft * Douglas El Segundo Model 9 flying wing bomber * Boeing Model 316/Y1B-20/B-20, Model 322, Model 333 and 333A, Model 384 and Model 385 multi-engine heavy bomber projects * Boeing Model 352, 374, 376, 386, 387, 394, 398 and 400 Naval fighter projects * Curtiss "Cab over Engine" Wasp Major Naval fighter * Curtiss SB3C/A-40 dive bomber in the most accurate 3-view drawn to date * Kaiser-Fleetwings Model 47 twin-engine Naval fighter * Martin 180, 181 and 183 long-range twin-engine flying boat patrol bombers And dozens more are covered in 275 pages with nearly 450 photos, 3-views and artist concepts, many never before in print.
