Only available electronically.
This Guide to Managing Safety-Critical Elements in Building Construction, jointly initiated by the CIOB and RIBA, has been produced with the intention of increasing awareness across all sections of the industry of the need to bring a rigorous and structured approach to the design, construction and inspection of elements identified as potentially safety-critical (elements that, if omitted or installed incorrectly, could cause a serious injury or loss of life, to those in and around the building).
