Reviews

Professor Krishnamurthy combines academic rigor with practical insight. The book systematically examines the evolution of height safety—from historical regulations to modern-day practices—and presents both collective and personal fall protection methods with clarity and depth. This book is essential reading for safety professionals, educators, and students alike. With its holistic scope, practical guidance, and engaging storytelling—including compelling survival accounts—it sets a new benchmark for literature on fall management. Salman Azhar, Ph.D. William A. Hunt Endowed Professor and Graduate Program Chair McWhorter School of Building Science, Auburn University
