Our members have been increasingly concerned at how risk can be shared equitably, so \u003cem\u003eDesigning a Safer Built Environment\u003c\/em\u003e has come out at just the right time. I was delighted that the author, \u003cstrong\u003eJohn Carpenter\u003c\/strong\u003e, asked us for our thoughts on risk, and his book captures these concerns admirably. It should be required reading for any organisation involved in building or maintaining our critical infrastructure.\u003c\/p\u003e -- Guy Lawson, Director of Civil Engineering Contractors Association North West, UK\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eAll too often there is an inconsistent approach to how buildings and major infrastructure schemes are designed to reduce health and safety risks, during construction and when they are are handed over to the end users for operation, leading to poor quality of buildings and infrastructure.
