Therefore‚ if cement is left on the skin throughout the working day‚ rather than being washed off at intervals‚ the risk of contact sensitisation to hexavalent chromium will be increased. Introduction Cement is widely used in construction. Anyone who uses cement (or anything containing

Building codes and safety purpose. Building codes act an important role in construction and design phase. In the past‚ most building codes and standards have used prescriptive (or compliance) criteria. In recent years‚ there has been strong interest worldwide in developing codes and standards that are more performance based ( Foliente‚ 2000). The purpose of building codes are to increase safety in the design of the project and its construction. For example‚ according to the 2010 California Building

The surveyors of Rome played an essential role in the construction of the roads and the aqueducts‚ and developed many of the fundamental principles of surveying and construction. Essential to every engineering project‚ presently as well as in ancient times‚ was the need for consistency and precision in measuring. The use of measuring equipment assisted the surveyors
