This invaluable field book produced by DeWalt company is pocket sized 6″x4″ and chocked full of excellent reference information for the construction industry. This book is illustrated and includes many diagrams and charts for easy reference.  It includes details not found in OSHA regulations or other resources which makes it particularly helpful and an ideal companion to the OSHA regulations.  We have provided an expanded summary of chapter one to provide a sense of the type of volume of information squeezed into this little book! The other chapters have similar levels of detail, but we were avoiding repetitive motion disorders by not including all of it!
